patch to implement --line-buffered option

Behavior change with --line-buffered would be primarily to --progress - which
would output a newline after percentage update instead of just a
carriage-return.

During a normal operation with smaller files you'd never notice the difference,
but with large files (say recurrent sync of ISO images or similar) - you'd get
a MUCH more usable output trace in the build system and logs instead of it all
being merged onto one "line" of output.
