1753795 - Add progress bar indicator to run_python_test

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: Python Test, enhancement)

[Alex Hochheiden [:ahochheiden] (PTO until March 31)]

While I was initially investigating D137822 I found that the lack of feedback in regards to the progress of the tests was a bit lacking. Due to a bug they were running for over 3 minutes and I just had to wait it out with a blank command line while they executed.

I added an indication that the threads for each test were being created, but during code review I came up with a better idea: adding a progress bar via tqdm! I used tqdm to add a progress bar for some android bootstrapping a while back and it feel like it could be used here for the same purpose.

This will give additional feedback to the user. Now they will have
immediate feedback in regards to the progress of the test run, instead
of being unsure of what's happening until the first test run completes.

Depends on D137822
