Placement of batch progress messages

Problem/Motivation

When running an upgrade via the UI (/upgrade), progress messages are displayed above the progress bar rather than below it. 20 messages are displayed before scrolling off the screen. I had thought this was an intentional D8 change, but apparently not - they should be below. We're not doing anything to try to achieve this, so we need to figure out why it's happening.

mikeryan sates in #4 the positive side of having 20 messages on screen,

I think the context is helpful, otherwise most migration results will disappear before it's possible to see them. I did include this to get feedback, so there's a -- so far... ;-).

The first step is decide if the upgrade screen stay as is or be changed? And if changed, then decided what needs to be done?

    Usability review

    We discussed this issue at πŸ“Œ Drupal Usability Meeting 2023-07-28 Fixed . That issue has a link to a recording of the meeting. For the record, the attendees at the usability meeting were @AaronMcHale, @Emma Horrell, @benjifisher, @lukas.fischer, and @rkoller.

    We agreed with the proposed change: move the progress bar to the top. We also discussed additional changes, and I just added πŸ“Œ Do not show all completed migrations in batch message Active describing those suggestions. I created a new issue to avoid delaying this one, but if it is easier to implement all the changes at once, then we can do it here and close that issue.

    I am updating the Proposed resolution in the issue summary.

    Once the progress bar is at the top of the page, it is less important to limit the list of completed migrations to 20. Whoever works on this issue can choose keep the current behavior (limit to 20) or show them all without asking for another usability review, but please keep the issue summary up to date.
