Made --progress use ir-chk instead of to-chk when the incremental

recursion scan is still active.  Mention the output change more
prominently in the NEWS file.  Updated the --progress output in
the manpage, with mention of the new "ir-chk" string's meaning.

+  OUTPUT CHANGES:
+
+    - Output numbers in 3-digit groups by default (e.g. 1,234,567).  See the
+      --human-readable option for a way to turn it off.  See also the daemon's
+      "log format" parameter and related command-line options (including
+      --out-format) for a modifier that can be used to request digit-grouping
+      or human-readable output in log escapes. (Note that log output is
+      unchanged by default.)
+
+    - The output of the --progress option has changed:  the string "xfer" was
+      shortened to "xfr", and the string "to-check" was shortened to "to-chk",
+      both designed to make room for the (by default) wider display of file
+      size numbers without making the total line-length longer.  Also, when
+      incremental recursion is enabled, the string "ir-chk" will be used
+      instead of "to-chk" up until the incremental-recursion scan is done,
+      letting you know that the value to check and the total value will still
+      be increasing as new files are found.

 When the file transfer finishes, rsync replaces the progress line with a

+In this example, the file was 1,238,099 bytes long in total, the average rate
 of transfer for the whole file was 146.38 kilobytes per second over the 8
 seconds that it took to complete, it was the 5th transfer of a regular file
 during the current rsync session, and there are 169 more files for the
 receiver to check (to see if they are up-to-date or not) remaining out of
 the 396 total files in the file-list.
 
+In an incremental recursion scan, rsync won't know the total number of files
+in the file-list until it reaches the ends of the scan, but since it starts to
+transfer files during the scan, it will display a line with the text "ir-chk"
+(for incremental recursion check) instead of "to-chk" until the point that it
+knows the full size of the list, at which point it will switch to using
+"to-chk".  Thus, seeing "ir-chk" lets you know that the total count of files
+in the file list is still going to increase (and each time it does, the count
+of files left to check  will increase by the number of the files added to the
+list).

 dit(bf(-P)) The bf(-P) option is equivalent to bf(--partial) bf(--progress).  Its
 purpose is to make it much easier to specify these two options for a long
 transfer that may be interrupted.
