See what this PR allows you to do easily:

## New ProgressBar class
First, this PR deprecates `ProgressHelper` in favor of `ProgressBar`. The main difference is that the new `ProgressBar` class represents a single progress bar, which allows for more than one bar to be displayed at a time:
```php
use Symfony\Component\Console\Helper\ProgressBar;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Output\ConsoleOutput;
$output = new ConsoleOutput();
$bar1 = new ProgressBar($output, 10);
$bar2 = new ProgressBar($output, 20);
$bar2->setProgressCharacter('#');
$bar1->start();
print "\n";
$bar2->start();
for ($i = 1; $i <= 20; $i++) {
// up one line
$output->write("\033[1A");
usleep(100000);
if ($i <= 10) {
$bar1->advance();
}
print "\n";
$bar2->advance();
}
```
And here is how it looks like when run:

## Format Placeholders
This pull request refactors the way placeholders in the progress bar are managed. It is now possible to add new placeholders or replace existing ones:
```php
// set a new placeholder
ProgressBar::setPlaceholderFormatterDefinition('remaining_steps', function (ProgressBar $bar) {
return $bar->getMaxSteps() - $bar->getStep();
});
// change the behavior of an existing placeholder
ProgressBar::setPlaceholderFormatterDefinition('max', function (ProgressBar $bar) {
return $bar->getMaxSteps() ?: '~';
});
```
Several new built-in placeholders have also been added:
* `%remaining%`: Display the remaining time
* `%estimated%`: Display the estimated time of the whole "task"
* `%memory%`: Display the memory usage
## Formats
Formats can also be added (or built-in ones modified):
```php
ProgressBar::setFormatDefinition('simple', '%current%');
$bar->setFormat('simple');
// is equivalent to
$bar->setFormat('%current%');
```
Built-in formats are:
* `quiet`
* `normal`
* `verbose`
* `quiet_nomax`
* `normal_nomax`
* `verbose_nomax`
## Format Messages
You can also set arbitrary messages that depends on the progression in the progress bar:
```php
$bar = new ProgressBar($output, 10);
$bar->setFormat("%message% %current%/%max% [%bar%]");
$bar->setMessage('started');
$bar->start();
$bar->setMessage('advancing');
$bar->advance();
$bar->setMessage('finish');
$bar->finish();
```
You are not limited to a single message (`message` being just the default one):
```php
$bar = new ProgressBar($output, 10);
$bar->setFormat("%message% %current%/%max% [%bar%] %end%");
$bar->setMessage('started');
$bar->setMessage('', 'end');
$bar->start();
$bar->setMessage('advancing');
$bar->advance();
$bar->setMessage('finish');
$bar->setMessage('ended...', 'end');
$bar->finish();
```
## Multiline Formats
A progress bar can now span more than one line:
```php
$bar->setFormat("%current%/%max% [%bar%]\n%message%");
```
## Flexible Format Definitions
The hardcoded formatting for some placeholders (like `%percent%` or `%elapsed%`) have been removed in favor of a `sprintf`-like format:
```php
$bar->setFormat("%current%/%max% [%bar%] %percent:3s%");
```
Notice the `%percent:3s%` placeholder. Here, `%3s` is going to be used when rendering the placeholder.
## ANSI colors and Emojis
The new progress bar output can now contain ANSI colors and.or Emojis (see the small video at the top of this PR).
