Description
The message at the top of the mosh screen when network connection is borken is good to have, but I would like to have something with a little more real-time feedback.
Would be nice to have an option to show a lag-o-meter stat that continuously updates. Something along the lines of:
mosh: lag 112 ms (avg 120 ms, 78 ms, 76 ms) [To hide: Ctrl-^ l]
Where the 4 numbers indicate, respectively:
- current lag
- lag average over last 1 minute
- lag average over last 5 minutes
- lag average over last 15 minutes
Kind of like the way the w command shows load average.

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing message shown at the top of the mosh screen and the code that measures network lag. Determine where continuously updating status text and the Ctrl-^ l toggle belong. Done means an optional lag-o-meter reports current lag and 1-, 5-, and 15-minute averages, with a way to hide it.
