Listening for compiler updates from tool

[tomneutens]

I would like to show the compile/upload progress in my tool. As far as i can see in the source code the editor.status::progressUpdate method is passed to the compiler build() method in the SketchController class. Consequently, there is no way of adding my own listener to the update process.

I can see two options to make the behaviour i want to implement possible:

1. quick and dirty: provide a getter for the "JProgressBar progressBar" in the EditorStatus class so i can listen for updates of the JProgressBar.

2. make it possible to add listerners to a listenerlist in the SketchController class so mulitple objects can listen for the build updates.

Is this something which could bed added?

Hi @tomneutens , such an API could be truly useful for 3rd party tools developers (I believe). Can you propose a PR so we can discuss on that? Thanks a lot!
