#312: wxNVIZ prints debug to terminal

E.g. at raster load time it pollutes the terminal with:

{{{
Loading raster map <erode.index@PERMANENT>...
Loading raster map <erode.index@PERMANENT>...
Translating colors from raster map <erode.index@PERMANENT>...
99%
}}}

This is still an issue for the wxdigitizer (not debug but suer
messages):

Still an issue.

Does anyone know how to intercept GRASS_INFO_MESSAGE() etc to avoid that
it gets
printed to the terminal?

export GRASS_MESSAGE_FORMAT=silent

Alternatively, identify the G_message() calls and change them to
G_verbose_message() so that they don't get printed without --verbose.

I don't understand the issue very well. Does this mean that we need to
change all `G_message()` calls in the library if there is a chance that
the part will be used directly by some GUI application (vdigit, nviz,
iclass)?

First, should GUI programs be different to non-GUI programs in this
regard?

The issue is that library functions are generating messages, meaning that
any program which uses those functions will generate messages. It's
debatable whether library functions have enough context to decide which
messages are appropriate.

Vlib is particularly noisy in this regard. I count 113 calls to
G_message() in lib/*/*.c (excluding test suites). 59 of those (more than
half) are in Vlib.

The other issue seems to be that GUI-format messages are being written to
the terminal, which suggests an issue in the way that the program is
started (i.e. something is executing it with GRASS_MESSAGE_FORMAT=gui but
not capturing its output; the point of GRASS_MESSAGE_FORMAT=gui is to use
a machine-readable format so that a GUI can process the messages).
