Subject: fix(health): emit Progress message #37123

Problem:
The `"Running healthchecks..."` message doesn't inform the user much and
is a hack from before we got a way to emit actual progress messages.

Solution:
Use `nvim_echo` to emit progress messages showing the name of the report
that is currently running.
