add cli spinner to indicate when classifier is in training #8

Per @nbarker suggestion, we should try to use cli-spinner to indicate when the Watson NLC classifier is training.

another option:

Not clear how this would be used as the training is done asynchronously. We are adding a status query: https://github.com/ibm-cloud-solutions/hubot-ibmcloud-cognitive-lib/issues/22

FYI @jlpadilla

Agreed. If a visual spinner sat there for 10 - 15 minutes, it would make the user feel like they need to wait before doing anything else. That isn't the case. I haven't looked into #22 but the best we can do is printing out a periodic emit on status (every 5 minutes maybe) and/or allowing a command to directly poll the status.

jlpadilla commented 8 years ago

Agreed that this isn't needed, added more logging with #28. When enabled it will print to the console every 60 seconds when a classifier is being trained.
