Display a single "substitute: updating list of substitutes from ..."

Every now and then, guix updates the list of substitutes.  While doing
so, it displays a bunch of

	substitute: updating list of substitutes from 'https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org'... 100.0%

Sometimes dozens of them in a row.  I don't find it very informative to
show this to the user more than once.  Is there a specific reason to
display it multiple times?

Same for me. I find it esp. irritating to see info like this:

substitute: updating list of substitutes from 'https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org'... 100.0%
substitute: updating list of substitutes from 'https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org'... 10.0%

Perhaps what you're seeing might be caused by this:

Yes, it’s terrible, but no easy solution…
