Title: New option: --progress <arg> with dual meaning

Default behavior for progress updates (--progress ) is like the current (2.0) multiplier.

To make this more useful witout burdening the user with more options,
You may either use an integer to print updates every examples
or use a floating-point arg for multiplicative updates.

If the multiplier is <= 1, add 1.0 sine the next update example must be bigger than current.
e.g: 0.5 is would be interpreted as 1.5x

Also added two tests to RunTests

Also cleaned-up some minor indent inconsistencies and misspelling I found along the way.
