When running on e.g. a cluster, the output is usually redirected to a
file, where the escape characters turn into a jumbled mess (see
#151). This PR implements a simple swap-in for Progress that instead
prints a new line after each progress update:

N = 100
p = SimpleProgress(N)
for i = 1:N
    sleep(0.01)
    ProgressMeter.next!(p)
end

which gives output like this:

Progress:   8%  ETA: 0:00:01
Progress:  17%  ETA: 0:00:01
Progress:  26%  ETA: 0:00:01

Progress:  80%  ETA: 0:00:00
Progress:  89%  ETA: 0:00:00
Progress:  98%  ETA: 0:00:00
Progress: 100% Time: 0:00:01

showvalues & showspeed is also supported:

N = 100
p = SimpleProgress(N, showspeed=true)
for i = 1:N
    sleep(0.01)
    ProgressMeter.next!(p, showvalues=[(:i,i),(:x,sin(i))])
end

This PR does not implement finish! or cancel.

Is this interesting? Are the tests adequate?

Could this be done by adding an option in the constructor of the Progressbars or in next!/update! instead of a new type of Progress ?

I guess, but updateProgress!(p::Progress) would need even more
conditional statements, to ensure that no escape characters are
printed, i.e. there would be more and more complicated logic. Having a
separate type to dispatch on simplifies this in my opinion.

I believe it's more versatile to add this as an option (what if someone wants this but with colors, or with a ProgressUnknown/ProgressThresh)

I made a draft of what it could look like (#223)
