[Request]: Add Environment Variable to Configure Default Progress Mode #1406

Description

Feature or enhancement request details

Add support for a CONTAINER_CLI_PROGRESS environment variable that allows users to set their preferred default progress mode (none, ansi, plain, or color) without passing --progress on every command.

Currently, users must specify --progress color (or plain, etc.) each time they run container image pull, container image push, or container run. An environment variable would let users set their preference once.

The --progress flag would continue to take precedence when explicitly provided, with the environment variable serving as the default when the flag is omitted.

This aligns with the transition from macOS user defaults to config files and environment variables for user preferences, as discussed in #1384.
