Reducing default verbosity

[Ricardo Wurmus]

Hi Guix,

for the release after 0.14.0 I’d like us to implement changes to the
default verbosity of Guix commands.

Here are a few things that I think would make for better defaults:

* Reduce package downloads from three lines to one line.  The
  “Downloading URL” line is only important when things go wrong.
* Reduce precision in percentages.  The extra digit and the period
  contribute to visual noise.
* Widen progress bar, so that it changes more quickly.

  Before:
  
    Downloading https://berlin.guixsd.org/nar/gzip/r43434523452345…-zlib-1.2.11…
     zlib-1.2.11    151KiB      12.6MiB/s  00:00 [###############] 100.0%

    Downloading https://berlin.guixsd.org/nar/gzip/rlol…-libpng-1.6.29…
     libpng-1.6.29  377KiB      10.6MiB/s  00:00 [#############  ]  90.0%

  After:

    zlib-1.2.11     151KiB  00:00 [##############################] 100%  
12.6MiB/s
    libpng-1.6.29   377KiB  00:00 [#########################     ]  90%  
10.6MiB/s

* Redirect all build output to log files; as we can’t generally estimate
  progress I’d use a spinner and maybe display the name of the current
  build phase and the number of build phases that are left.

  There are some pretty single character unicode spinners here:

* Remove double messages that are printed by the daemon and the Guix
  client, e.g. hash mismatches.  Here’s an example of this:
