Description
Who is this for and what problem do they have today?
After you run rpk cluster self-test start, you have to continuously execute rpk cluster self-test status to see the status of the tests. This is a less-than-deal developer experience. Some other rpk commands such as rpk cluster health have a --watch flag to allow users to monitor the status in the terminal. This would be nice to have for the self-tests.
What are the success criteria?
rpk cluster self-test start --watch that polls for updates to the tests and waits until they are complete.
Why is solving this problem impactful?
Improved developer experience.

Research direction
Start by locating the rpk implementations of cluster self-test start and cluster self-test status, then compare them with the existing rpk cluster health --watch behavior. Run the self-test commands to understand their current output and polling behavior. Done means rpk cluster self-test start --watch polls for updates and waits until the tests are complete.
