Add -v/--verbose switch to commands that accept it

[Matthew Burgess]

As outlined in the proposal referenced above, we should add a verbose switch to common commands (e.g. 'ln', 'mv', 'cp') in order to improve logging and early error detection.

Something that I suggested on the list but did not get a response: Instead of changing commands in all places and forcing the user to use verbose commands, an alternative is to add a small section at the begining that aliases the commands to their verbose counterparts. e.g. alias cp="cp -v".

I'd prefer to add it to all commands for a couple of reasons:

1) It matches BLFS 2) Using the alias has the possibility of being lost across reboots or entering/exiting the chroot environment.
