Right now it is infeasible to offer to the user a reasonable concept
of when a clone will be complete as we aren't able to come up with
the final pack size until after we have actually transferred the
entire thing to the client. However in many cases users can work
with a rough rule-of-thumb; for example it is somewhat well known
that git.git is about 16 MiB today and that linux-2.6.git is over
120 MiB.
We now show the total amount of data we have transferred over
the network as part of the throughput meter, organizing it in
"human friendly" terms like `ls -h` would do. Users can glance at
this, see that the total transferred size is about 3 MiB, see the
throughput of X KiB/sec, and determine a reasonable figure of about
when the clone will be complete, assuming they know the rough size
of the source repository or are able to obtain it.
This is also a helpful indicator that there is progress being made
even if we stall on a very large object. The thoughput meter may
remain relatively constant and the percentage complete and object
count won't be changing, but the total transferred will be increasing
as additional data is received for this object.

Currently the progress/throughput display update happens only through
display_progress(). If the progress based on object count remains
unchanged because a large object is being received, the latest throughput
won't be displayed. The display update should occur through
display_throughput() as well.

This adds the ability for the progress code to also display transfer
throughput when that makes sense.
The math was inspired by commit c548cf4ee0
from Linus.

This allows for better management of progress "object" existence,
as well as making the progress display implementation more independent
from its callers.

Each progress can be on a single line instead of two.

Johannes Sixt's suggestion as it better explains the
action that is taking place]

This allows for progress to be displayed only if the progress has not
reached a specified percentage treshold within a given delay in seconds.

If the progress bar ends up in a box, better provide a title for it too.

Instead of having this code duplicated in multiple places, let's have
a common interface for progress display. If someday someone wishes to
display a cheezy progress bar instead then only one file will have to
be changed.
Note: I left merge-recursive.c out since it has a strange notion of
progress as it apparently increase the expected total number as it goes.
Someone with more intimate knowledge of what that is supposed to mean
might look at converting it to the common progress interface.
