web-ext run: only show the last reload time #617
Description
Is this a bug or feature request?
feature
What is the current behavior?
In web-ext run, you see a log message each time the extension is automatically reloaded.
What is the expected or desired behavior?
You should only see the last time the extension was reloaded. It's not important to clutter the console repeatedly with each reload.
For example, this is what it currently looks like when you make a lot of changes to an extension:
$ web-ext run -s example-extension/

The extension will reload if any source file changes
Last extension reload: 14:25:54 GMT+0100 (BST)
(This new output also removes the extension ID because that's not important.)
Some tips:
- This will need to use shell escaping to rewrite the current log line (example)
- If the last line does not start with 'Last extension reload' then it should not be rewritten
- In verbose mode, it should continue to just log a new line with the time and extension ID.
