What are the different verbosity levels in Forge testing?

beginner

Re-explain

Forge provides multiple verbosity levels controlled by the number of v flags:

Default: Shows test results only
-v: Shows logs for failing tests
-vv: Shows logs for all tests and gas usage
-vvv: Shows execution traces for failing tests
-vvvv: Shows execution traces for all tests and setup
-vvvvv: Shows execution and setup traces, plus internal steps
Higher verbosity levels are crucial for debugging failed tests and understanding gas consumption patterns.
