 dput: add consistent progress indicator option for all methods

minor stable testing unstable about 10 years ago

The default /etc/dput.cf doesn't include anything about
progress_indicator. I would never have realized this is a configuration
option in dput.cf and not a commandline option, had it not been for
someone telling me about it. At the very least, putting it in the
example dput.cf (preferably defaulting to 2) should help future users.

I suppose it is inappropriate to add progress_indicator = 2 unless all the
upload methods can support it reliably, hence this is a wontfix.

That feature is now in our To Do document, so I have reported a bug
requesting it (bug#835605). This bug can be resolved after that one.
