    The new rich output for rbt post left a bit to be desired. It had been
    
basically ported over straight from the old tqdm implementation, and
    
so it would show two progress bars for "Validating Commits" and
    
"Uploading Commits", and then finish with "Review Request X posted" and
    
links. These progress bars were always shown, even for the default case
    
of posting a single commit.
    

    This now uses a spinner that shows what the active task is. In the case
    
of multi-step tasks (such as validating or uploading multiple commits),
    
the progress bar will be included. Once that entire process concludes,
    
the spinner is entirely replaced with the result.
    

    The console API for this has been updated to allow commands that don't
    
want to replace the spinner/progress, such as rbt install where it
    
looks better if we keep that download bar on-screen.
    
 
    

    





  

    
 
 
    
  
      

    • Ran unit tests.
      • 

    • Posted changes with single and multiple commits.
      • 

    • Ran rbt install tfs and verified that it still looked good.

      Improve progress output for `rbt post`.
      
    The new rich output for `rbt post` left a bit to be desired. It had been
basically ported over straight from the old `tqdm` implementation, and
so it would show two progress bars for "Validating Commits" and
"Uploading Commits", and then finish with "Review Request X posted" and
links. These progress bars were always shown, even for the default case
of posting a single commit.

This now uses a spinner that shows what the active task is. In the case
of multi-step tasks (such as validating or uploading multiple commits),
the progress bar will be included. Once that entire process concludes,
the spinner is entirely replaced with the result.

The console API for this has been updated to allow commands that don't
want to replace the spinner/progress, such as `rbt install` where it
looks better if we keep that download bar on-screen.

Testing Done:
- Ran unit tests.
- Posted changes with single and multiple commits.
- Ran `rbt install tfs` and verified that it still looked good.
