Patrick Palka d53e57d039 perf ui tui progress: Don't force a refresh during progress update
Each call to tui_progress__update() would forcibly refresh the entire
screen.  This is somewhat inefficient and causes noticable flickering
during the startup of perf-report, especially on large/slow terminals.

It looks like the force-refresh in tui_progress__update() serves no
purpose other than to clear the screen so that the progress bar of a
previous operation does not subsume that of a subsequent operation.  But
we can do just that in a much more efficient manner by clearing only the
region that a previous progress bar may have occupied before repainting
the new progress bar.  Then the force-refresh could be removed with no
change in visuals.

This patch disables the slow force-refresh in tui_progress__update() and
instead calls SLsmg_fill_region() on the entire area that the progress
bar may occupy before repainting it.  This change makes the startup of
perf-report much faster and appear much "smoother".

It turns out that this was a big bottleneck in the startup speed of
perf-report -- with this patch, perf-report starts up ~2x faster (1.1s
vs 0.55s) on my machines.  (These numbers were measured by running "time
perf report" on an 8MB perf.data and pressing 'q' immediately.)
