Update DD to get "status=progress" feature

By default, dd outputs nothing until the task has finished. To monitor the progress of the operation, add the status=progress option to the command. It is not available on older versions (before 8.24) of coreutils.

Could one of the maintainers update DD, please? This makes disk cloning much easier.

First it would be a feature request not a bug report. Second, no, because LE uses dd from busybox which does not support this.
