deploy: eta on resource creation update deletion

[mrgum]

Describe the feature

When creating updating or deleting a resource it would be useful to know how long it is expected to take.

This could start with a eta per resource type (perhaps fetched from a region based api) but learn from metrics it gathers from my usage

Where this would be especially useful is when deleting resources, when they are taking longer than usual it can be a sign that they have been used elsewhere outside CDK and need tidying up (rather than waiting 45mins while cloudfront backs off api calls till finally giving up) going say 25% above eta could be a warning

This could then be used to provide an overal progress time bar for each stack and the whole deployment

Whilst times for creating updating or deleting resources may vary dependant on the content of the resource just a rough eta would be better than the nothing we have now

Use Case

I'm frustrated when I sit refreshing logs wondering when the resources will be deleted

Proposed Solution

a local preseeded per region cache of resource creation, upgrade and deletion average times and number of samples (so the average can be recalculated with each resource)

Other Information

not sure if this is a cdk thing or if cloudformation (and the console) should provide this and CDK just present it
