progressify: Progress Reporting of Common Functions via One Magic Function

The progressify() function rewrites (transpiles) calls to sequential and parallel map-reduce functions such as base::lapply(), purrr::map(), foreach::foreach(), and plyr::llply() to signal progress updates. By combining this function with R's native pipe operator, you have a straightforward way to report progress on iterative computations with minimal refactoring, e.g. 'lapply(x, fcn) |> progressify()' and 'purrr::map(x, fcn) |> progressify()'. It is compatible with the 'futurize' package for parallelization, e.g. 'lapply(x, fcn) |> progressify() |> futurize()' and 'purrr::map(x, fcn) |> futurize() |> progressify()'.
