Here's what I think we should do: fix the bug in the minimal way, and
then drop the useless code. It's worth doing in two steps, because we
may decide to resurrect the feature later, and it would then just be a
straight revert of the second commit.

  [1/2]: progress: set default delay threshold to 100%, not 0%
  [2/2]: progress: drop delay-threshold code

This regression is in v2.15, so this probably ought to go to maint (at
least the first part, though I think the second should have no
user-visible effects).
