Bug Description

bzr bd and bzr bd-do apply quilt patches quietly, and without indicating they are doing so. This is somewhat surprising.

run_quilt() currently captures the stdout output from quilt and returns it. However, most callers ignore the return value.

It probably makes sense to let callers pass in a file-like object for stdout instead; most will just want to specify sys.stdout. Alternatively, we could just print a simple message to indicate that quilt patches are being applied.
