+15.7 remove progress meter from libcurl
+
+ The internally provided progress meter output doesn't belong in the library.
+ Basically no application wants it (apart from curl) but instead applications
+ can and should do their own progress meters using the progress callback.
+
+ The progress callback should then be bumped as well to get proper 64bit
+ variable types passed to it instead of doubles so that big files work
+ correctly.
