feature request: pdk test unit should provide for presenting log output

[jcbollinger]

The pdk test unit CLI should provide an option or options for presenting the catalog builder's log output to the user, such as is generated by Puppet's debug(), notice(), etc. functions. Note that I am merely asking to see the log output, not to test it. This can be of great benefit for determining why tests fail. Even something as simple as a --loglevel option, defaulting to 'none', would be a tremendous help.

I've had a go at tweaking my tests and the spec_helper to get the output, without success. I'm uncertain whether that's because I've made the wrong mods or because pdk test unit is squashing the output, but in the end, I don't care. The reason to choose PDK or a similar tool is to avoid having to do that kind of thing myself in the first place.
