    Allow index_create to suppress index_build progress reporting
    
    A future REPACK patch wants a way to suppress index_build doing its
    progress reports when building an index, because that would interfere
    with repack's own reporting; so add an INDEX_CREATE_SUPPRESS_PROGRESS
    bit that enables this.
    
    Furthermore, change the index_create_copy() API so that it takes flag
    bits for index_create() and passes them unchanged.  This gives its
    callers more direct control, which eases the interface -- now its
    callers can pass the INDEX_CREATE_SUPPRESS_PROGRESS bit directly.  We
    use it for the current caller in REINDEX CONCURRENTLY, since it's also
    not interested in progress reporting, since it doesn't want
    index_build() to be called at all in the first place.
    
    One thing to keep in mind, pointed out by Mihail, is that we're not
    suppressing the index-AM-specific progress report updates which happen
    during ambuild().  At present this is not a problem, because the values
    updated by those don't overlap with those used by commands other than
    CREATE INDEX; but maybe in the future we'll want the ability to suppress
    them also.  (Alternatively we might want to display how each
    index-build-subcommand progresses during REPACK and others.)
