progress: display progress bar when HGPLAINEXCEPT contains "progress"

This patch changes "progress.shouldprint()" so a feature name is provided to
"ui.plain()" to determine if there is an exception specificed in HGPLAINEXCEPT
for the progress extension.

This will allow user-facing scripts to provide progress output while HGPLAIN
is enabled.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
