Simpler cli output

[mafintosh]

Was playing around with ideas to simplify the output of the cli earlier today as an experiment. The linear list of files is good at showing all files in the dat, however it is a bit verbose and makes the cli "jump up/down" once in a while. Files also aren't necessarily being downloaded linearly (the most efficient approach is "rarest first" where you sync the parts of a dat that fewest people are sharing first).

Adding files / resuming a dat you own

Initializing Dat in /Users/maf/dats/test-dat.

The Share Link is secret and only those you share it with will be able to get the files

This looks great!

@mafintosh a few questions:

1. How do we do progress for adding files? I thought we didn't know the total size until we added them.
2. Is there any way in the live archive to tell its done downloading for now? I've just been comparing downloaded files to total files but that seems weird for large live archives that are being updated.

I'll need to look at the yolowatch stuff a bit to see if we can tell how many files are being updated. Otherwise, most of this (minus progress bars) I put up on the new branch.

@joehand

1. The stat object returned from folder-walker contains the size
2. Yea, we'll add a 'synchronized' event that'll tell you everything available has been downloaded

Yeah I like this minimal approach.

we'll be incorporating these ideas in a future implementation
