Description
When using the direct runner to test and investigate streaming pipeline, it would be very convenient to display the watermark of each element to check if a window/trigger definition is correct.
Imported from Jira [BEAM-3278](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-3278). Original Jira may contain additional context.

Research direction
Start with the direct runner and review the imported BEAM-3278 Jira issue for the additional context. Trace how a streaming pipeline processes watermarks, windows, and triggers; done means the direct runner displays each element's watermark so those definitions can be inspected.
