Description of the new feature/enhancement

When you have many tabs it is would be interesting to signal when a tab is outputting data and which tab doing this.

The idea is show a little bubble in the right corner of the tab to indicate this.

In many job we uses many tabs to watch logs in real time.

Get-Content -Path .\test.log -Wait | Select-String -Pattern 'ERROR' 

It is used for many different parallel environments, and this signal will be usefully to monitor efficiently this tabs.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

When a tab, without focus, receives some output data, a ball/bubble of some color should appear indicating that there has been an update on that console.
Just like second image.
