Subject: [PATCH] pdist-bootcheck: Keep sending "update in progress"

A synchronous pdist may take some time without anything happening on
the console. At the same time, other messages from systemd might be
emitted, scrolling the original "Update and reboot required" to a less
prominent place.

Keep sending messages at regular intervals.
