Initial patch against head/usr.sbin/freebsd-update

This patch replaces freebsd-update's "...1030....1040...." progress reporting with this:

    Fetching 8786 patches. 1030/8786 (11%)

A couple more dots in the middle wouldn't go amiss, but there's some odd conditional logic for them based on verbose level, and I'm not going to mess about with that too much until I've actually tested with them.

The old style remains if STDOUT isn't a tty, so users running it on a cronjob shouldn't see any change.

This would be a nice usability improvement
