Show a message when demo recording starts.

Address #515 by printing a message to the user's view when recording begins.

As already stated earlier, I like the idea to provide confirmation to the player that a demo is recording. @rfomin What do you say for Woof?

But we have a PR for parameter validation in Woof.

Just as an additional confirmation for the user that the current run is recorded. I see this independent from command line validation.

Okay, sure.

@JadingTsunami Could you consider this solution?

Sure, I am fine with that as well. The downside of hard-coding the message is that it is not possible to localize it through a patch anymore. But I am not sure anyone would have a strong feeling about it; it may not matter in the end.

Some updates after adopting the proposed approach from @fabiangreffrath.

• record will print the demo filename being recorded to.
• -recordfromto now shows when recording continues (which is a welcome addition, I think).

Very nice, thank you!
