Description
For long runs of CIRCT (i.e., minutes), it would be useful to users to know that compilation is still going and what it is doing.
A simple approach would be to add pass pipeline information as passes execute. This would only be enabled for certain verbosity levels. We can experiment with some ideas for what this should be and what it would look like.

Research direction
Start with firtool's pass-pipeline execution and examine how verbosity levels are handled during compilation. Define an optional heartbeat format that reports ongoing pass activity, then verify that it appears only at the intended verbosity levels during long runs.
