Description

Since we decided to get rid of Facets, we can no longer use its progressbar implementation. There exists a progressbar gem, but it's doesn't render as smartly as we'd like it to. A newer version of that code base (still not perfect) is available, but not as a gem, and due to licensing can't be included in the code base.

So this is an opportunity to write a progressbar implementation that:
a) Only does what we need it to.
b) Without the patches (see transports.rb) required to make it work.
c) And can depend on Highline to figure out screen resolution.
