compare-locales output for multiple projects

[Axel Hecht]

Hi,

tl;dr: If you're not running compare-locales yourself, you can stop
reading. If you don't run it on more than one project at a time, you can
stop reading.

I'm currently making the output of compare-locales more useful in
general, and I'm hitting a point where I'd like to ask a question about:

compare-locales _configs/browser.toml _configs/mobile-android.toml
l10n-central ab-CD

By default, this shows the data for Firefox and then for Fennec. If you
specify --unified, it shows them as one output, but you can't tell if a
file is needing l10n to fix Firefox or Fennec. They're also showing a
summary in each block.

Is anybody using the non-unified output, and if so, intentionally? If
so, the file log or the summary or both?

If I can drop the difference between unified and not, adding
--obsolete=no will be a bit easier ;-)

I haven't fully dug into the unified piece yet, but I did reformat the
output and re-purposed --quiet on my local branch. Notably, -q now hides
obsolete, missing, warnings, errors if you specify it 1-4 times.

Is this an improvement for you guys? Comments?
