Spinners and progress bars #94

I am a big fan of these projects. I feel like they would provide more friendly output to students. I have observed modern users are very weirded out by silent apps. But they are an extra dependency. Should we use them?

tqdm for progress bars. I'm thinking this would be very useful for the Experiment support without interaction.
Halo for spinners. I felt like reaching for this today when I wrote diagnose().

I dressed up countdown a little bit in diagnose. Is that enough?

Progress bars, thought, would be a useful addition to the longer running stuff.
