Tweaked version of de Lhoneux's thesis progress script

thesis_progress.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Assumes PDF and tex filepath differ only in the extension
#
# Usage:
#   thesis_progress.sh [FILENAME [TARGET_PAGECOUNT]]
#
# FILENAME is your thesis PDF (def: thesis.pdf)
# TARGET_PAGECOUNT is the number of pages you want to write (def: 180)

Nice, but with a small bug that only shows up when the percentage of written pages is below 10%. Already told @mdlhx about it, see https://twitter.com/protestreich/status/1126482639475572736.

Fixed here: https://gist.github.com/mdelhoneux/d8cf609f9c11e647573f396dffd33830
I also realised it was always printing a bar even at 0 percent so I fixed that as well
