Show status spinner instead of logs in gdk update

Kev Kloss requested to merge kkloss-fancy-update-spinner into main

What does this merge request do and why?

This MR replaces the long log output with a list of fancy loading spinners in gdk update using tty-spinner.

A gdk-performance follow-up to introduce parallelization is being worked on in !3726 (merged).

Todo:

  • Store logs of GDK.silent_make executions, so they can be accessed afterwards, e.g. for migrations
