HS_DESC event while waiting for upload

There is currently a "synthentic" delay before upload hidden-service descriptors. It would be nice if there was a "WAITING" (or similar) sub-event to the HS_DESC events to tell controllers that.

For context, txtorcon listens to HS_DESC events when adding a new Onion service (either via ADD_ONION or SETCONF) and bubbles this out to txtorcon users as "progress" (txtorcon may also decide it needs to launch a new tor instance, which is also bubbled out via the same progress API).

So for the 30 seconds (or whatever) of induced delay, there appears to be nothing happening, and then you get 6 "HS_DESC UPLOAD" and (hopefully also 6) "HS_DESC UPLOADED" sub-events all "near the end".

It would provide nicer UX to have a "HS_DESC WAITING" (or similar) every few seconds.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
