[FEATURE] Both the Spinner and the Progress bar would benefit with some text

[gcarreno]

Hey Ikel,

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes: I have this problem that my indicators should have the option to display status text 😜

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like that bot indicator have an optional field, maybe call it Caption, that could display status text.

• There should be a Caption property
• There should be a ShowCaption property
• Option 1: we change the Caption before we step
• Option 2: we provide the caption on the last param of the step procedure

Example Usage

// Option 1
  MyIndicator.Caption:= 'ETA: 1:00';
  MyIndicator.Step(0);

// Option 2
  TIndicator.Step(AStep: Integer; const ACaption: String = EmptyStr);
  MyIndicator.Step(0, 'ETA: 1:00');

Cheers,
Gus

Hey Ikel,

Hummmm... Did a test, and since the indicator leaves the cursor after it, maybe I can temporarily solved this with a TConlole.Write after the Spinner.Update.

Nonetheless, it would be nice to have it nicely packaged in the indicator, so we don't have to bother with the blanking before writing new status 🥰

Cheers,
Gus

Thanks for the suggestions, @gcarreno ! Those properties would be handy to have.
