Felitendo c8666da714 Show the run log's last lines under Details, live
The percentage says an update is alive. It does not say what it is alive
doing, and for the longest stretch of a run there was no way to find out:
an AUR package compiling for a quarter of an hour talks constantly, and
every word of it went into a file nobody was looking at.

So the run log's last five lines now travel with the progress entry and
sit under Details, refreshed every two seconds for as long as the update
lasts. Polled rather than followed, for the same reason the pacman
watcher polls: only the last few lines are ever displayed, so every line
in between would be work nobody sees, and re-reading the tail whole makes
truncation and rotation of the log a non-event.

The job model behind this interface carries exactly two description
fields - descriptionValue1 and 2, there is no third - so one stays with
the package being worked on and the other takes the tail. Newlines inside
a field do render, which is what lets five lines share one of them. They
travel tab separated because the protocol is one instruction per line,
and a tab inside a log line becomes a space first: either renders as
whitespace, but a line split in half renders as nonsense. Five lines
clipped to 120 columns also keeps an instruction well inside PIPE_BUF,
which is what makes the write atomic against the runner sending its own
progress down the same pipe.

# The update's progress bar on the desktop.
#
# An unattended upgrade can take twenty minutes, and for most of that a user is
# told only that "an update is running". This drives the desktop's job list -
# the same widget that shows a bar while Dolphin copies files - so how far
# along the run is stays visible the whole time.
#
# The desktop ends the progress entry as soon as the D-Bus connection that
# asked for it goes away, which no one-shot bus client can survive. So an
# actual process per session holds that connection open and takes instructions
# on stdin; see cachy-auto-update-progress. Everything below is the writing end
# of those pipes, plus the arithmetic that turns "package 120 of 260 in the
# repository step" into one number for the bar.
#
# Absent anywhere along the way - no session, no Plasma, no Python bindings -
# this does nothing at all and the update proceeds exactly as before.
