manifest: say when there was nothing to do

A run which found everything already current printed nothing and exited 0,
which is indistinguishable from one that silently ignored you, the
complaint behind both #80 and #108.

Report "manifests are up to date" when the operation got through without
reporting any work of its own, and pass the verbosity down so -v names each
package that was passed over and why. -q stays silent.

 **pkgdev manifest:**
 
+- manifest: a run with nothing to do now says so instead of printing nothing
+  at all, and ``-v`` names each package passed over and why (Arthur Zamarin,
+  #80, #108)
+
 - manifest: any file inside a package directory now manifests that package,
   so ``pkgdev manifest files/some.patch`` works rather than failing to parse
   the path as an atom (Arthur Zamarin, #80)
