Bug Description

When running 'openstack overcloud update stack -i' you get the following output:

$ openstack overcloud update stack -i overcloud
Started Mistral Workflow tripleo.package_update.v1.package_update_plan. Execution ID: dc76a26d-67bc-49a2-b48e-5ddb0b2b97e9
Waiting for messages on queue 'ee3b698b-e0cf-4e75-a3e2-57b8a384ba6b' with no timeout.
IN_PROGRESS
WAITING
not_started: [u'overcloud-controller-0', u'overcloud-controller-1']
on_breakpoint: [u'overcloud-controller-2', u'overcloud-novacompute-0']
Breakpoint reached, continue? Regexp or Enter=proceed (will clear 39d3fdd2-1178-4c10-a4f3-fc1cccf2c1dc), no=cancel update, C-c=quit interactive mode:

We could improve the messages here somewhat. For example:
- "Will clear 39d3fdd2-1178-4c10-a4f3-fc1cccf2c1dc" means absolutely nothing to average joe
- Also the difference between not_started and on_breakpoint are completely not obvious (ospecially because I expected to have all nodes except one on 'not_started')
- Later in the process when all nodes are 'on_completed' we should print which heat step we are running instead of a bunch of IN_PROGRESS.
