Describe feature

Using act version 0.2.24.

I see:

[Test ci/ci] 🧪  Matrix: map[python-version:3.7]
[Test ci/ci] 🚀  Start image=ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:full-18.04

I'm sure that if I used act -v, I'd get a download progress arrow.

Instead, it'd be nice if I saw:

[Test ci/ci] 🧪  Matrix: map[python-version:3.7]
[Test ci/ci] ⬇️  Downloading image=ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:full-18.04

Then once the image arrived, the current output could be shown:

[Test ci/ci] 🧪  Matrix: map[python-version:3.7]
[Test ci/ci] ⬇️  Downloading image=ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:full-18.04
[Test ci/ci] 🚀  Start image=ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:full-18.04

I thought I already fixed that but apparently it does not show the message, huh...

No, I did fix that 😺
