Standardize output for installs

[RamblingCookieMonster]

At the moment, installs just spit out whatever output happens to be emitted from the dependency script. Ideally, that output could be shuffled to the verbose stream, and a consistent, passthru-esque object could be emitted. This would look cleaner and where needed, allow programmatic use of output.

Some quick thoughts, current state is quite ugly with some types killing output, other types giving way too much output, etc.

• Include all Dependency metadata
• Include a Status boolean, depending on whether the install was a success (as much as we can tell)
• Include a StatusDetail (not tied to the name) string, which expands on Status:
  • If we failed, try to include a friendly description of why it failed and potentially how to fix - otherwise, text of whatever unexpected error we caught.
  • If we succeeded, indicate how - e.g. dependency already existed, or we used whatever method the dependency script called for
• Include a Output string, including output from whatever tool the script calls (in case the user
• Maybe include a property for each stream (Output, Error, Warning)? Always handy to have raw data from these streams, as well as some distilled bit (StatusDetail)
• Use format data to limit to something like Dependency Name, Dependency Type, Status, StatusDetail, letting folks explore as needed

Anything else? Is this too much?

Cheers!
