The attached patch implements this. So make-progress-reporter will make
a pulsing reporter when min-value and max-value are not specified.

I made it so that you must use progress-reporter-pulse to update a
pulsing reporter, but I realized afterwards that it would be easy enough
to have progress-reporter-update check to see if the reporter is a
pulsing one or not and call the correct function underneath without the
caller having to think about it.

If you think this is a good idea I can make the change.
