Change to group progress output in 0.33.0 breaks piping to file via stdout

After update to 0.33.0, when piping the output of fclones group to a file per the examples in the readme (i.e. $ fclones group . >dupes.txt the resulting dupes.txt file contains the text during the scanning phases and will not work for input to other fclones commands.

Using fclones group -o dupes.txt does work as expected.
