Consider leveraging the withProgress API for long running processes (builds, deploys, etc)

Hi @kevinbluer, thanks for sending this. Currently the extension uses the withProgress API, but it does not report any actual progress. However, progress is shown in the Output Channel (when sticky) which becomes visible when triggering a command, e.g.,

Moreover, to use this API with progress we need a way to get the percentage completed. I'm not sure how we can get this from the process's stdout.
