Moving it here causes a measurable slowdown for:

  git rev-list --progress=foo --objects --all

This function gets called for every single increment of the progress
counter. Whereas in its old location:
 	tp = (progress->throughput) ? progress->throughput->display.buf : "";
 	eol = done ? done : "   \r";
 	if (progress->total) {
 		unsigned percent = n * 100 / progress->total;
 		if (percent != progress->last_percent || progress_update) {
 			progress->last_percent = percent;
-			if (is_foreground_fd(fileno(stderr)) || done) {
-				fprintf(stderr, "%s: %3u%% (%"PRIuMAX"/%"PRIuMAX")%s%s",
-					progress->title, percent,
-					(uintmax_t)n, (uintmax_t)progress->total,
-					tp, eol);
-				fflush(stderr);
-			}
It was only triggered when we accumulated enough increments to print. So
we save a few instructions in the backgrounded case, but it costs us a
lot of extra syscalls in every other case.

According to "strace -c", the number of ioctls for that rev-list on
git.git went from 6 to 373,461. But more importantly, my best-of-five
timings went from 3.340s from 3.407s. That's only 2%, but it would be
nice not to pay it if we don't need to.
