Er, all that does is write to stderr ... we need to call
CmdExec::status_line::Clear(), I think. I guess a message needs to be
propagated up to CmdExec to do that. That seems tricky: we need to go
from FileCopy::Do all the way up to the CmdExec, and only do this if
it's the foreground job (can't have background jobs clearing the status
line.) And since FileCopy isn't a job, it doesn't have a parent leading
us to CmdExec.

Well, operator math should probably return another Time object; if it's
needed as a float, another function can do that. (This kind of stuff is
costly for strings, but cheap for an 8-byte time structure that can
probably be passed around on the stack.)
