0009481: Directly set flag for Python progress printing
When you run a Python script with pvpython or pvbatch, by default you get output like

vtkFilter(10) : [ .................]
vtkFilter(135) : [ .................]
vtkFilter(137) : [ .................]
vtkFilter(127) : [ .................]
vtkFilter(139) : [ .................]

whenever filters execute. To turn it off (or on) you use the function servermanager.ToggleProgressPrinting().

However, using this function is annoying. Toggling a feature is fine for a GUI, but an automated script almost always simply turns it off or on. To turn it off, you have to go through the process of querying the flag and then conditionally toggling it. It would make much more sense to have a function that accepted a true/false flag to turn the feature on or off.
