They tend to never get updated anyway so they're frequently inaccurate
and we never go back to revisit them anyway. We document issues to work
on properly in KNOWN_BUGS and TODO instead.
Increasing the update frequency of the progress bar to 10Hz greatly
improves the visual appearance of the progress bar (at least in my
impression).

Currently, the progress bar is updated at 5Hz. Because it is often not
updated to 100% when the download is finished and curl exits, the bar
is often "stuck" at 90-something, thus irritating the user.
This patch fixes this by always updating the progress bar (instead of
waiting for 200ms to have elapsed) while the download is finished but
curl has not yet exited. This should not greatly affect performance
because that moment is rather short.

Also, use memset() instead of a lame loop.
The previous logic that tried to avoid too many updates were very
ineffective for really fast transfers, as then it could easily end up
doing hundreds of updates per second that would make a significant
impact in transfer performance!

By comparing if a different "progress point" is reached or not since the
previous update, the progress function callback for this now avoids many
superfluous screen updates. This has the nice side-effect that it fixes
a problem that causes a second progress meter line.
The second line output happened because when we use the -# progress
meter, we force a newline output after the transfer in the main loop in
curl, but when libcurl calls the progress callback from
curl_easy_cleanup() it would then output the progress display
again. Possibly the naive newline output is wrong but this optimization
was suitable anyway...

Configuration files such as curl_config.h and all config-*.h no longer exist
nor are generated/copied into 'src' directory, now these only exist in 'lib'
directory from where curl tool sources uses them.
Additionally old src/setup.h has been refactored into src/tool_setup.h which
now pulls lib/setup.h
The possibility of a makefile needing an include path adjustment exists.
The progress bar output function would blindly use the terminal width
without bounds checking. When using a very wide terminal that caused a
buffer overflow and segfault.
We now limit the max bar with to 255 columns, and I simplified the code
to avoid an extra snprintf and buffer.
