progress: render a single download with the same table as several

block() no longer special-cases one download with a [bracketed] one-liner;
it always draws the summary line, the column header, and one row per
download. The non-TTY path emits the same summary for one or many. This
drops lineOne and the dual rendering path it created, so a column or state
change is made in one place, not two that could drift.
