Progress indication for schematics #12479
Description
Since the TSLintFixTask can take a lot of time (e.g. if used to apply source code transformations for ng-update), it would be nice to have a progress indicator that shows that "something" actually runs.
For example: if someone runs ng update @angular/material@next, it's not clear for a period of time that the fix task actually "runs". See: angular/components#12774.
An option that can be specified when configuring the TSlintFixTask would be nice to have. The option would then show a simple progress indicator while TSLint runs.
Ideally there would be a way for a schematic to:
- Have an progress-spinner with a name of the schematic currently running
- Report a status (similar to how Bazel
repository_ctxcan report statuses)
Nowadays a lot of schematics need to run as part of an ng update and it would be helpful to know what schematic currently runs / what it currently does (if known)

Note that while having the ability to indicate a % complete would be nice in some cases, in the general case, it's most important to just be able to indicate that
schematic Xis currently running.With Angular version 8, some of my schematics for core, CLI, and material/cdk were taking 10+ minutes to complete, but it seemed like they were hung/unresponsive. This is bad DX.

Totally agree. Thanks for adding that!
