[Swift-devel] Tryswift enhancements

[Michael Wilde]

For the progress output:

Swift trunk swift-r7139 cog-r3806
RunID: 20140416-1029-alqxvvi1
Progress:  time: Wed, 16 Apr 2014 10:29:54 -0500
Progress:  time: Wed, 16 Apr 2014 10:29:55 -0500  Selecting site:7  Active:3
Progress:  time: Wed, 16 Apr 2014 10:29:56 -0500  Selecting site:7  Active:3  Finished successfully:3
Progress:  time: Wed, 16 Apr 2014 10:29:57 -0500  Selecting site:7  Active:3  Finished successfully:6
Progress:  time: Wed, 16 Apr 2014 10:29:58 -0500  Selecting site:7  Active:3  Finished successfully:9

- start with Swift run starting at 10:23:03
- suppress Swift version # and RunID lines
- change: Progress:  time: Wed, 16 Apr 2014 10:29:58 -0500  Selecting site:7  Active:3  Finished successfully:9
   to:  10:29:58   Ready:7   Active:3  Done:9  [Failed: 3] (show failures only if non-zero)

Use spaces to make these line up "nicely"

- add a line saying Swift run completed at 10:24:59
