Description
The timeout for the kamaki wait command should be configurable via a --timeout argument.
Also, it doesn't make sense to display a progress bar which fills up slowly and changes the expected completion time.
The bar should show the total time remaining before the operation times out.
It should show a value decreasing at a constant, predictable rate.
When it becomes zero, the operation has timed out.
Also, it doesn't make sense to show completion percentage.
We're not waiting for the timeout to complete.
We're waiting for the status of a server to change, and time is running out.

Progress bar is now able to "count down", be "eating" the bar instead of
filling it, thus has meaning for timeouts
All waits are time-outs, except for "server BUILD"

#2 Updated by Stavros Sachtouris over 9 years ago
Currently, in case of a server_wait with 'BUILD', the status of the bar is updated w.r. to the "progress" value returned by the cyclades, thus not a timeout.
In all other cases of server_wait and other wait methods, it is a timeout. In order to modify it, the progress bar calling should be more parametrizable, or even completely replaced by a simple "count down to timeout" counter.
