Use 3D viewport for console logging for all features that lock the UI

[garylzimmer]

I really liked the way that your addon had the console log output to the 3d viewport when downloading 2d map tiles so that I didn't have to remember to open up the system console to monitor progress. If you could force the other downloading features (3d tiles) to do the same that'd be rad!

I thought about that from the very beginning.

The problem is that the total number of 3D tiles to download is unknown at the start of the import. A tile set definition is hierarchical. One may need to dive deep into the hierarchy of tiles to get all the required tiles.

At least the download of each specific tile can be reported in the 3D View. Then an approximate progress in percentages can be added.

It's a great feature and I wish more addons did that whenever there is a script preventing UI interaction. I'm less concerned about reporting "progress" explicitly as a % or time remaining, but the idea that I can just put Blender in a small corner while it's downloading tiles and I can see the green text scrolling by lets me know that Blender isn't actually hanging, but busy and working.
