Remove progress bar for guestfs.launch() progress

In Guestfs you get notifications about progress on some functions like
launch() by registring callback functions. When using guestfs from python,
this is fragile. If the callback functions raises an exception, you end up
with segmentation fault. It is better to completely remove the progress
monitoring from launch().
