Proposal: add a --compact flag to gh run watch #4535
Description
Describe the feature or problem you’d like to solve
When using gh watch on large projects with more than a few jobs and steps the list of jobs goes off the top of the screen.
Proposed solution
I'd like to propose a --compact flag which only shows the current step of each job, rather than all the past and future steps.
Additional context
Currently the output looks like this when I do an rclone build. This is 200 lines long and nowhere near fits on the largest terminal.

X golangci-lint exit with code 4
I'd propose that it be shortened to this with the --compact flag, where what is showing is the current step only, or if it has finished, the first failing step, otherwise the last step.
This is only 31 lines long, conveys all the important detail and would fit on my terminal just fine!
