Thanks for the feedback. Pushed to master, closing the bug.

You cannot have both: dividing the message into two different ones, and
not making Tramp more chatty. And if you change the message level of
"Setup connection ..." to something different, there will be a quiet
Tramp saying "Opening connection ... done" w/o returning control to the
user for a while. Another source of complaints I like to avoid.

The change, that Tramp says now "Opening connection ..." for every hop
in a multi-hop environment is an advantage I believe. You have a better
view on where Tramp is working (and maybe being blocked).
