Ability to disable orange progress animation for generators

[freddyaboulton]

Description

The orange animation is always displayed for a generator. You may want to disable this. For example, in a chatbot demo where the text stream is enough indication that progress is being made. In this PR, the orange animation is only shown for generators if show_progress='full'. Also added show_progress for Interface and ChatInterface.

I thought there was an issue for this but I can't find it.

With the following changelog entry.

Ability to disable orange progress animation for generators by setting show_progress='minimal' or show_progress='hidden' in the event definition. This is a small visual breaking change but it aligns better with the expected behavior of the show_progress parameter. Also added show_progress to gr.Interface and gr.ChatInterface.

lgtm thanks! technically a visual breaking change but pretty minor

[aliabid94]

why is a cast necessary? isn't show_progress set to be of type Literal["full", "minimal", "hidden"]

[freddyaboulton]

pyright infers it as str instead of the narrower Literal so it complains. I think it's because the property is set in init but it's being used in a separate method here.

Thanks for the review @aliabid94 !
