Feature request: spinner on in-flight requests in console

Reported by fzamme...@gmail.com, Dec 7 2016

Issue description

On the console tab of the developer tools I would like to see a spinner of some sort immediately to the right of the URL of in-flight requests, both AJAX and otherwise. This can be seen in Firefox and/or Firebug. 

The rationale is that there is currently no indication that a request in-flight except for the absence of a response on the right. Unfortunately, and especially on wide monitors, your eye sometimes has trouble tracking across to see which results haven't completed yet, especially when there's a lot of them. Such an indicator, as is present in Firefox, makes it very easy to see.

This is also something FF currently does that is requested we do as well.

Do you want this in the Console Panel or Network panel?

I'm not seeing a spinner in Firefox DevTools for these.

Here's my repro:
1. open firefox/chrome devtools on this page
2. open network panel
3. open console drawer
4. enable XHR logging (right click in chrome, filter button in FF)
5. paste this:
fetch('https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list?can=2&q=component%3APlatform%3EDevTools+&colspec=ID+Stars+Owner+Summary+Modified&x=m&y=releaseblock&cells=ids')

I'm skeptical about putting a spinner, as it could be really noisy for some times (consider theverge.com as it loads).

But I'm open to other ways to make it clear that a req is in flight.

What do you think? Also can you tell me where I can see this spinner in action? Thanks
