Snapd papercuts initiative

I think it’d be neat if the snap install command was improved so that it would clearly state e.g., downloading $content_snap (XX%). A lot of the time the install command completes quickly and the automatically connecting... feedback only shows on screen for a few seconds. However on a slow internet connection with a new content snap the user might not already have available, this process that is often fast can instead look broken because it’s not clear what’s actually going on is a separate download that could realistically take several minutes on some connections.
