Description

**Related command**
az upgrade

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
- I want to see progress update when running az upgrade, right now it just looks stuck for 2 min

- Also another thing, and quite annoying, is that it pops up an "install window" where it asks me to click next.. I didn't expect this Window and I only saw it by mistake. Can't it install an MSI in a silent mode without UI so it stays in the terminal, I don't want to be yanked out of the terminal experience when upgrading az cli.

```
Updating Azure CLI with MSI from https://aka.ms/installazurecliwindows
Downloading MSI to C:\\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp6ac0qfjo\azure-cli-2.62.0.msi
Installing MSI
```

**Describe the solution you'd like**
- An improved experience would be:

```
Updating Azure CLI with MSI from https://aka.ms/installazurecliwindows
This may take 2-3 min depending on the speed of your Internet connection

Step [1/5] Downloading MSI to C:\\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp6ac0qfjo\azure-cli-2.62.0.msi
Step [2/5] Installing MSI
[.xxxx....] ~2 min left
```

- Also, please run MSI install in terminal only, don't pop open an install Window

Thank you for considering
