real transferred value with live migration

[vasyansk]

hi,
during the transfer of the virtual machine, along with the contents of the RAM, an incorrect value of the transferred data is displayed.
It turns out that it ended up being transferred more than it was originally.
I propose to do the same as in any rsync operation: in the process of transfer, ask the source for its current value

no, the output is correct, although a bit confusing if you don't know how it works under the hood. a state migration can easily transfer more data than a single copy of the state would take. after all, the VM is not frozen while the migration is going on, but is allowed to modify the state - which requires a re-transfer of the changed parts if they have already been transferred previously.

i know
that's why I suggest in the process of transfer also periodically re-requesting the real value

the only thing we could add would be the 'remaining' value, but that would then also jump up and down which looks confusing - and transferred + remaining would not equal total either
