xpkg: add spinners to build and push commands

[boxcee-interview]

What this PR does / why we need it

crossplane xpkg build and crossplane xpkg push can take a long time and currently print no progress feedback, so it can look hung (see #411). project push already has a spinner for its push; this extends the same terminal.SpinnerPrinter to the xpkg commands:

• xpkg build — wraps the package build and the write-to-disk step in success spinners.
• xpkg push — wraps the package read step, the single/multi-platform push, and the index push in success spinners.
• xpkg batch — unchanged behavior; it already logs per-retry progress and keeps calling pushImages with a nil spinner.

Which issue(s) this PR closes

Closes #411.

Checklist

• Read the CONTRIBUTING.md, including the conventional commit message requirements.
• Added tests for the change — n/a, this is a CLI UX change around the existing terminal.SpinnerPrinter; existing cmd/crossplane/xpkg tests still pass (go test ./cmd/crossplane/xpkg/...).
• Added documentation — n/a, existing help text is accurate.

How to verify it

Run a build against a package directory in a TTY:

crossplane xpkg build -o repro.xpkg

You should see a "Building package" spinner (and "Writing package to disk" on success) instead of silence. Same for crossplane xpkg push <tag> — "Reading packages" and "Pushing package" spinners appear.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The package build and push commands now accept spinner printers. They show success-spinner feedback while building and writing packages, loading package files, pushing packages, and writing a package index. The batch retry call uses the updated pushImages argument order.

Changes

Package command progress

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Build progress wrappers cmd/crossplane/xpkg/build.go	buildCmd.Run accepts a spinner printer. It wraps package building and tarball writing in success-spinner calls. Existing error wrapping remains in place.
Push progress wrappers cmd/crossplane/xpkg/push.go, cmd/crossplane/xpkg/batch.go	Package loading uses a “Reading packages” success spinner. Single-package pushes, multi-package waits, and index writes use success spinners when a printer is provided. Multi-package push work is handled by pushSingle. The batch retry call uses the updated pushImages argument order.

Merge Risk | ⚪ Minimal · up to eccee

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to eccee

Build and push progress feedback preserves command errors, and multi-platform uploads now show progress. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 7f6c6

The change adds progress feedback without expanding filesystem permissions, registry credentials or upload destinations. Existing operation errors, publication ordering and batch retries remain intact. No material security risk was found in the changed execution paths.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The changed paths retain the operator-selected package inputs, output file and registry repository, using the process's existing filesystem access and registry credentials. No new caller, credential authority or broader asset scope is introduced by the progress wrapper in the inspected comparison.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Push retains default-keychain authentication, strict registry-reference validation and its existing transport configuration. The explicit option to skip TLS certificate verification predates this PR and is neither enabled nor broadened by spinner injection.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Animated progress uses the existing terminal lifecycle: normal completion stops the display, while SIGINT or SIGTERM releases the terminal and exits with status 130. This is not graceful operation cancellation or rollback. The new usage does not add recovery for interrupted writes, and existing batch recovery remains independent of the spinner.

g.Wait() phase when a spinner is available, so progress is visible during image
uploads. Keep the direct g.Wait() path when sp is nil, preserving the xpkg batch
