Debug mode would be really useful #447

Not sure whether this is an issue for here or it if it should be elsewhere, if would be useful if there was a debug mode which produced way more output, e.g. Ive noticed the IVC workflow doesnt produce an acis file at the end - that would be quite useful as a debug output

Sorry this slipped of my radar. But we did have a use case for such a debug mode today so I just wanted to write that up before I forget again :-)

So whenever we have a CAD problem that is a bug with CadQuery we have to reproduce a minimal working example in pure cadquery without the paramak. This can be tricky to do. So perhaps the method create_solid should have the option of printing out the cadquery object creation that can be turned on with a verbose flag.
