Add option to define bar cursor

[jrouleau]

Simple feature to allow users to customize the last completed character of the progress bar. Includes logic to remove cursor when bar is complete.

Hmmm, are these used in any CLIs? Nice feature, but I'm not sure how useful it is.

[jrouleau]

It's entirely for aesthetics. It's the behaviour of several popular GNU/Linux tools such as pv and wget.

wget

However, I'm noticing now that both of these tools keep the cursor as the last character even after the bar is complete. Here is a comparison. I think I actually like keeping this cursor better.

remove cursor

keep cursor

I'm going to update the PR to keep the cursor as that functionality is more common.
