New custom field format "Progress bar"

A new "Progress bar" format will be added for custom fields. Separate from the standard "% Done" field, this allows you to input a percentage value as a custom field. This enables you to visualize aspects of progress or degree that differ from the standard "% Done" ratio, which represents how much of a issue's work is finished.

• Expected version: Redmine 6.1.0
• Official site issue: Feature #42335: "Progress bar" custom field format
