progress: Fix race condition causing fileno crash

A race condition occurs when sync redirects sys.stderr to capture worker output, while a background progress thread simultaneously calls fileno() on it. This causes an io.UnsupportedOperation error. Fix by caching the original sys.stderr for all progress bar IO.
