Show transfer status with pv about btrbk HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks for the input, should be pretty easy to implement, and is definitvely useful when starting btrbk interactively.
The output looks promising:

# btrfs send /mnt/btr_pool/_btrbk_snap/rootfs.20150815 | pv > /dev/null
At subvol /mnt/btr_pool/_btrbk_snap/rootfs.20150815
317MiB 0:00:03 [577.2MiB/s] [   <=>                                                      ]

I guess I will implement a "-V" option switch for this.

I would suguest a --progress flag similar to the equivalent flag in rsync because -V is often used as shorthand for --version

Yes you're right. The problem is that btrbk does not support long ("--") arguments. On the other side, as btrbk grows I'll have to support this anyways some day.

implemented "--progress" option in: d8e8df0
