Redirect stdout only if not in verbose mode to avoid
possible regressions because of redirected STDOUT, see
https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1398#issuecomment-315097768

I should have initially mentioned that intentionally
STDOUT is not redirected in verbose mode
to make "rear recover" behave as before
(the recover workflow is always verbose)
so that users won't get regressions during recovery
(i.e. in case of emergency and time pressure).

But plain "rear mkbackup" has STDOUT redirected
so that we can still get some user feedback how
redirected STDOUT behaves.

I think that this is an interesting idea.

I postponed the redirection of STDOUT vor ReaR v 2.2 in
https://github.com/rear/rear/commit/f47f705c0857e46b93c2ccc49b8ba504c05559eb
which obsoletes this pull request.
