Show portmaster-start download progress in Linux installers

[northys]

What happened:

I'm 100% sure it used to show progress in the command line while it downloaded certain parts of portmaster. Now it just says it may take a while and on slow tethered connection I have no idea if it is doing anything...

I'm not sure if that really was the case, but I converted it to a suggestion and assigned @ppacher to take a look.

It wasnt a progress bar actually but I recall it said something like

Downloading updates.safing.io/parts/1... Done ....

something like that
