progress: create GIT_PROGRESS_DELAY
The start_delayed_progress() method is a preferred way to show optional progress to users as it ignores steps that take less than two seconds. However, this makes testing unreliable as tests expect to be very fast. In addition, users may want to decrease or increase this time interval depending on their preferences for terminal noise. Create the GIT_PROGRESS_DELAY environment variable to control the delay set during start_delayed_progress(). Set the value in some tests to guarantee their output remains consistent.
