%done graph is wrong in Connect, and doesn't match printing_time / remaining_time

To print a tiny calibration cube, my XL apparently takes ~15 minutes, only ~1 of which is actually laying down filament.  Fine.

But while the times given in connect reflect this, the percentage does not.  `Printing Time` and `Remaining Time` capture one of the key user touch points (when is it done), but the `%` shown is apparently only layers. 

Really, I'd like to see this be a visual distinction of "getting ready to print" versus "printing" - but if that's a "feature request" / TBD, they text there should make clear what's going on.  `Printing Time` is an actual running time it seems - whereas `Remaining Time` can be blown through (eg be incorrect) if something slows  down.  At minimum:

  • alt/hover text should add for the `%` something like `% of model printed` (and is this by time, or layers - often wildly different)
  • `Printing Time` should really be `Total Time`, as it covers non-printing activities like soak.
