new-run-webkit-tests uses the "MeteredStream" class to provide the one-line
status updates. The Port class doesn't actually get passed the handle to the
meter, but it would be a good enhancement if it did.

I'll add that and add separate lines for the build steps in a different patch.

The general rule of thumbs I'm trying to follow for output are:

(1) By default, if everything works, we produce one line of output ("all tests
completed successfully")

(2) Status updates are provided for every step that takes more than a second or
two to run (so that you at least know what stage we're in). Only the current
stage is displayed.

(3) Where possible, long-running stages actually produce a progress-bar style
update (which is what meter.update() implements), so that you can tell that
things aren't hung. Where possible, updates happen every few seconds or more
frequently, up to ~10 times per second for a smooth animation). Currently only
the actual running of the tests does this.

(I should probably document some of this stuff somewhere ...)
