commit-graph.c: show progress of finding reachable commits

When 'git commit-graph write --reachable' is invoked, the commit-graph
machinery calls 'for_each_ref()' to discover the set of reachable
commits.

Right now the 'add_ref_to_set' callback is not doing anything other than
adding an OID to the set of known-reachable OIDs. In a subsequent
commit, 'add_ref_to_set' will presumptively peel references. This
operation should be fast for repositories with an up-to-date
'$GIT_DIR/packed-refs', but may be slow in the general case.

So that it doesn't appear that 'git commit-graph write' is idling with
'--reachable' in the slow case, add a progress meter to provide some
output in the meantime.

In general, we don't expect a progress meter to appear at all, since
peeling references with a 'packed-refs' file is quick. If it's slow and
we do show a progress meter, the subsequent 'fill_oids_from_commits()'
will be fast, since all of the calls to
'lookup_commit_reference_gently()' will be no-ops.

Both progress meters are delayed, so it is unlikely that more than one
will appear. In either case, this intermediate state will go away in a
handful of patches, at which point there will be at most one progress
meter.
