Fix auto-installer progress function blocking issue

- Replace zenity-based progress with terminal progress bar
- Remove blocking pipe operations that were causing script hangs
- Add visual progress bar with filled/empty blocks
- Remove zenity completion dialog for terminal compatibility
- Clean up unused PROGRESS_PIPE variable
- Progress now works reliably in all terminal environments
