Description

It would be helpful to see the elapsed time on the initial time measurement.

Right now, I have a very long running benchmark subject sitting at "Initial time measurement" and "ETA 00:00:00"; I'd love to see the elapsed time ticking at least in this case, e.g. as " AT 00:10:23", indicating that hyperfine is 10 minutes 23 seconds into the initial run.

Research direction
Look for the strings 'Initial time measurement' and 'ETA' in the codebase (likely in src/). Understand how hyperfine currently displays progress and updates the terminal (e.g., using carriage returns). Implement a timer that shows elapsed time (e.g., 'AT 00:10:23') that updates every second during the initial warmup phase.
