[PATCH] build: print short version command only for quiet build

On verbose build, most shell scripts enable set -x making short version
command output redundant. On silent build, no output is expected. Hence
the short version should only be printed for quiet build.

It is true this patch will make the short log policy consistent,
but V=1 builds will become quieter than the normal builds
in some places, which is odd too.

Probably, this is not the direction I want to go in.
