It simply shows the completed/total items on the background queue, e.g.
indexing: 233/1000
The denominator is reset to zero every time the queue goes idle.
The protocol is fairly complicated here (requires creating a remote "progress"
resource before sending updates). We implement the full protocol, but I've added
an extension allowing it to be skipped to reduce the burden on clients - in
particular the lit test takes this shortcut.
The addition of background index progress to DiagnosticConsumer seems ridiculous
at first glance, but I believe that interface is trending in the direction of
"ClangdServer callbacks" anyway. It's due for a rename, but otherwise actually
fits.
clang-format: please reformat the code
