[Bug 335231] [NEW] command-not-found should print something on the console immediately

[Alexander Jones]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: command-not-found

WHenever I goof a command like

alex at fizz:~$ pytohn blabla.py

if the command-not-found cache is cold, it may take a couple of seconds
to return and finally print

bash: pytohn: command not found

During this time, I don't know whether the command is actually running
or not.

Therefore, I suggest c-n-f prints something immediately like "pytohn not
found. searching bla bla". At least then I can see straight away when I
have goofed and have a chance to Ctrl+C it.
