Display progress info on SIGUSR1 #1

Hello,

I was using your code to try to recover a btc wallet password and thought it would be nice to be able to get some data about progress.

With this patch bruteforce-wallet will print out some basic stats when interrupted with SIGUSR1 (like dd for example).

Not 100% confident about the search space cardinality math there - you might want to take a look.

Thank you for your great work.

Thanks for this patch.

There was a little bug in it that I corrected in commit e8eb0617cf6337f74fc47d3a834e2ec6973418b5 (the number of checked passwords only contained the counter of the last thread instead of the sum of the counters of all the threads).

Good catch, thanks.
