Dmitry Vyukov a1bdb604cc syz-manager: extend periodic messages
Add coverage and number of reproducing programs to the periodic messages.
When all machines are busy reproducing crashes, it appears that
syz-manager hanged as number of executed programs does not increase.
Coverage is just a nice characteristic.
Also print machine check message, it appears once and contains useful info.
