The workaround here that was printing many spaces did not work properly if the line length got very long and then very short again. I noticed this problem on an old version of rustup that still suffered from #1696, so it might not technically be reproducible anymore, but I figured we might as well fix this for the future anyway! I suspect the comment saying `delete_line()` didn't clear the line properly was attempting to call it *after* printing the current download progress, but the `term` crate docs say it deletes from the cursor position to the end of the line. To deal with that, we instead jump to the start of the line *before* printing the current download progress and call `delete_line()` there.

In rust-lang#1781, we switched to using `delete_line()` but unfortunately that turns out to not work very well on Windows. So this commit turns us back to using spaces to erase things, but in a way which ought to be moderately more robust than before. There's still no guarantee we're doing it right, but at least this time if the terminal is approximately wide enough for the bar and no more, we won't be flowing onto the next line with loads of spaces after the rest of the tracker.
