[RFC] Progress for operations that add data to the repository.

[Robert Collins]

I just had an idea today; how about we show progress for operations that
add data to the repository in terms of data written? Seems to me that
most users will have a reasonably accurate intuitive idea of how much
data needs to be written for a given change.

And this is easy to get from packs, and with a little work can probably
be made to work with knits etc.

So we could show:

committing:  1M written in 2 seconds (500K/sec)

for bound branches, or when auto pack kicks in we can add that:
committing: Pushing 300K to master branch, 200K written in 1 second
(200K/sec)
