Simulation progress output

[dschwen]

Reason

For long production runs with given start and end times it can be tedious to see how far the run has progressed. A quick and intuitive way of visualizing simulation progress would be neat...

Design

...so I wrote one for a project that I'm currently running simulations for

+-progress-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|#########################################################################################...........|
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Time Step 25, time = 9.43447e+08, dt = 1.4891e+07
 0 Nonlinear |R| = 3.812269e-07
   Solution, reference convergence variable norms:
   disp_x (grouped) : 3.81227e-07  disp_x (grouped) _ref: 3.07309e-07
   T:                 4.10509e-12  T_ref:                 13.9749
      0 Linear |R| = 3.812269e-07
      1 Linear |R| = 1.509571e-18

It currently only uses start and end times, but with a small modification could also use num_steps (if both criteria are in effect and the time step is allowed to vary the progress will be a estimate, so this mostly makes sense for times)

Impact

Users will be able to see how far along their runs are at a glance.
