Better logging/error message

[arkena00]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Some of logging / error message are not clear or not accurate.

Describe the solution you'd like

• Display more information about the compiler version, we only have the VS version atm
  compiler ID : MSVC 19.32.31329.0
compiler path : %programs%/.../cl.exe

• The config options errors are not clear because there is no distinction between user and xmake config

error: Invalid option: --rng=on
When an option doesn't exists, we are flooded by the config help instead of just having a warning like "option ignored"

So maybe add a distinction between user and xmake configs like
xmake f -xqt=path -xarch=x64 --user_option=v
It would break the current version so maybe in another one.

Same for the xmake.lua errors, when you come from cmake, the errors are harder to identify

Some packages can take time to download/install, by default we have no information about the state.
Maybe display a progressbar and/or the last output message on a single line to avoid flooding.

I have improved option menu, add option categories.

Command options (Other Configuration):
        --debugger=DEBUGGER                                  Set debugger (default: auto)
        --ccache=[y|n]                                       Enable or disable the c/c++ compiler cache. (default: y)
        --ccachedir=CCACHEDIR                                Set the ccache directory.
        --trybuild=TRYBUILD                                  Enable try-build mode and set the third-party buildsystem tool.
                                                             e.g.
    ...

        --regex=[y|n]                                        The regex module (default: y)
        --object=[y|n]                                       The object module (default: y)
        --xml=[y|n]                                          The xml module (default: y)
        --coroutine=[y|n]                                    The coroutine module (default: y)
        --charset=[y|n]                                      The charset module (default: y)
        --database=[y|n]                                     The database module (default: y)
        --hash=[y|n]                                         The hash module (default: y)

We cannot capture download progress from curl/wget, but you can add -vD to get more verbose information.

I have improved to show msvc info.

checking for Microsoft Visual Studio (x64) version ... 2019
checking for Microsoft C/C++ Compiler (x64) version ... 19.29.30137

But cl full path is too long, so you can only show it when enable -v

$ xmake f -cv
