Feature or enhancement

Currently,-R (--huntrleaks) only displays the reference counts when the test fails. It also uses agenerous heuristic, which avoid false positives, but might hide issues.

To get more insight into what's going on, I propose to show the number of leaks instead of thedot, with

• . instead of0, so leaks stand out
• X instead of 10 or more, to keep the display as a single digit

Additionally, I'd like to separate warmup runs, so you know when to start worrying.

The output would look like this:

beginning 9 repetitions. Showing number of leaks (. for zero, X for 10 or more)12345:6789XX.1. ....

meaning the first 2 warmups “leaked” a lot, then one more had a single “leak”, and there were no more leaks.
