Merge #15615: Add log output during initial header sync

d75e704ac08fb43320e3ebcdde0d2a5392fdec9f Add log output during initial header sync (Jonas Schnelli)

Pull request description:

  The non debug log output is completely quiet during the header sync. I see two main reasons to add infos about the state of the initial header sync...
  * users may think the node did fail to start sync
  * it's a little complicate to check if your getting throttled during header sync (repeatedly calling `getchaintips` or similar)
