dd: new status=progress level to print stats periodically
* src/dd.c: Report the transfer progress every second when the
new status=progress level is used. Adjust the handling and
description of the status= option so that they're treated as
mutually exclusive levels, rather than flags with implicit precedence.
* doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Document the new progress
status level. Reference the new level in the description of SIGUSR1.
* tests/dd/stats.sh: Add new test for status=progress.
* tests/dd/misc.sh: Change so status=none only takes precedence
if it's the last level specified.
* NEWS: Mention the feature.
