[FEATURE] Added --green-verbosity flag for Django test runner

  * Makes it possible to pass verbosity for Django tests using
    command line arguments to `python manage.py test`

  * The flag is optional and defaults to verbose=1

  * The passed value of verbosity overrides value provided in the
    .green file or any other configuration file
