Displaying progress during compiles.

. all good
F for compile failure at least in one board
O for open failure
E for error (exception thrown) during compile
U for unsupported sketch/example (its required boards list is an empty list at boards_db.json

The last compile that failed some way,
affects the status of the indicator.
