Description

Cloned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1382502
Description of problem:

Currently, when the upgrade is happening, the pre-upgrade/post-upgrade
steps don't provide the output as they are running, but rather just
show it after the step is finished. Since some of the upgrade tasks
can take quite a long time, it's very inconvenient to not produce
any output in the meant time, and it's hard to the user to tell
if it's stuck or actually doing something

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run upgrade on reasonably large satellite (so that the upgrade takes some time)
2. see some tasks performing over tens of minutes

Actual results:

The screen is unchanged for several minutes, making it
hard to tell if it's performing something, or just hang

Expected results:

The installer updates frequently about what's going on right now, but
passing the upgrade script output to the user at it runs (it also expects the
upgrade step producing reasonable output during the execution)
