output from 'bzr rm' should be more verbose and intuitive

Seems reasonable and nicely symmetric with 'bzr add'. We may want a 'bzr
rm -q', since we have 'bzr add -q' to not report everything that goes
on. Basically it just means enabling/disabling reporting based on what
bzrlib.trace.is_quiet() returns.


Also, I think someone was trying to change 'bzr rm' so that it would
actually delete the file (versus bzr remove to only mark it as no longer
versioned).

You may want to coordinate on it, since you are likely to be working in
the same area.
