Gah, my progress display fixes strike again...

I think the patch below should fix it, but I could only test it on
little-endian systems.  Could you please confirm that it indeed works
on big-endian as well?

Subject: [PATCH] test-progress: fix test failures on big-endian systems

In 't0500-progress-display.sh' all tests running 'test-tool progress
--total=<N>' fail on big-endian systems, e.g. like this:

  + test-tool progress --total=3 Working hard
  [...]
  + test_i18ncmp expect out
  --- expect	2019-10-18 23:07:54.765523916 +0000

The reason for that bogus value is that '--total's parameter is parsed
via parse-options's OPT_INTEGER into a uint64_t variable [1], so the
two bits of 3 end up in the "wrong" bytes on big-endian systems
(12884901888 = 0x300000000).

Change the type of that variable from uint64_t to int, to match what
parse-options expects; in the tests of the progress output we won't
use values that don't fit into an int anyway.

[1] start_progress() expects the total number as an uint64_t, that's
    why I chose the same type when declaring the variable holding the
    value given on the command line.
