Show more user-friendly output, from the start command #1311
Description
Description
Currently, the limactl start defaults to dumping the log with the INFO level to the console.
Turning off the logging means that only the final message (if any), was showing to the user.
I was experimenting with a less verbose mode, that only showed the major progress steps...
There were only two events in the start, Booting and Running, so I wanted to add requirements.
Booting: INFO[0000] SSH Local Port: 60022
Starting "default"
Running: INFO[0028] READY. Run limato open the shell.
READY.
The log also has some internal info, like mounts and forwards.

Counted the total, and added a progress bar:
$ limactl --silent start --progress
Starting "default"
Waiting 1 / 8 [--->________________________] "ssh" (essential 1/5)
Waiting 2 / 8 [------>_____________________] "user session is ready for ssh" (essential 2/5)
Waiting 3 / 8 [---------->_________________] "sshfs binary to be installed" (essential 3/5)
Waiting 4 / 8 [------------->______________] "fuse to \"allow_other\" as user" (essential 4/5)
Waiting 5 / 8 [----------------->__________] "the guest agent to be running" (essential 5/5)
Waiting 6 / 8 [-------------------->_______] "systemd must be available" (optional 1/2)
Waiting 7 / 8 [------------------------>___] "containerd binaries to be installed" (optional 2/2)
Waiting 8 / 8 [----------------------------] "boot scripts must have finished" (final 1/1)
READY.Found it less distracting, if the old steps remained.
By default, the new step information replaces the old.
