Align status output for parallel_execute

Previously docker-compose would output lines that looked like:

    Starting service ... done
    Starting short ...
    Starting service-with-a-long-name ... done

It's difficult to scan down this output and get an idea of what's happening.

Now the statuses are aligned, and output looks like this:

    Starting service                  ... done
    Starting short                    ...
    Starting service-with-a-long-name ... done

To me, this is quite a bit easier to read.
