I played around with this a bit, and of course it is easy enough to
add --progress with or without --verbose to a few tests, but when I
reverted 62cb7427d1e491faf8612a82c2e3711a8cd65422 it didn't make any
tests fail. So then I tried sticking --progress --verbose into
@pg_basebackup_defs so all the tests would run with it, and that did
make some tests fail, but the same ones fail with and without the
patch. So it doesn't seem like we would have caught this particular
problem via this testing method no matter what we did in detail.

If we just want to splatter a few --progress switches around for the
heck of it, we could do something like the attached. But I don't know
if this is best: it seems highly arguable what to do in detail (and
also not worth arguing about, so if someone else feels motivated to do
something different than this, or the same as this, fine by me).
