-# progress meter: avoid superfluous updates and duplicate lines
By comparing if a different "progress point" is reached or not since the previous update, the progress function callback for this now avoids many superfluous screen updates. This has the nice side-effect that it fixes a problem that causes a second progress meter line. The second line output happened because when we use the -# progress meter, we force a newline output after the transfer in the main loop in curl, but when libcurl calls the progress callback from curl_easy_cleanup() it would then output the progress display again. Possibly the naive newline output is wrong but this optimization was suitable anyway... Reported by: Daniel Theron Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=3517418
