#2899: progress display is now too slow for common operations

Changes (by pdmef):

  * milestone:  => 1.6

Comment:

 After thinking about the argument that some operations may be slower for a
 certain message than for others, I think all _inc variables are pretty
 pointless and basically agree with the patch.

 However, I think the sysconf() thing is superflous, since my manpage for
 times() says it's obsoleted by gettimeofday() and I neither see a need for
 going with system ticks nor something being wrong with gettimeofday().
 Also I think progress just once per second should be enough, or make it
 configurable, or...

 I'm not really sure, but a minor style issue: I think it's cleaner to have
 the last clock value in progress_t rather than in static vars.

 Since the feature is new since 1.4., I'm marking this to be solved before
 1.6.
