As parsing the sysfs entries can take a long time, add
progress information.
The progress logic will update the stats on every second,
or on 1% steps of the progress.
When STDERR is a console, it will use a single line, using
a VT-100 command to erase the line before rewriting it.
Otherwise, it will put one message on a separate line.
That would help to identify what parts of sysfs checking
that it is taking more time to process.

It doesn't make any sense to parse ABI entries under
/sys/firmware, as those are either specified by ACPI specs
or by Documentation/devicetree.
The current logic to ignore firmware entries is incomplete,
as it ignores just the relative name of the file, and not
its absolute name. This cause errors while parsing the
symlinks.
So, rewrite the logic for it to do a better job.
Tested with both x86 and arm64 (HiKey970) systems.

As warned, /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/fault_ovuv is defined 2 times:
Warning: /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/fault_ovuv is defined 2 times: ./Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-iio-temperature-max31856:14 ./Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-iio-temperature-max31865:0
The logic with joins the two entries is just places the paragraph
for the second entry after the previous one. That could cause more
warnings, as the produced ReST may become invalid, as in the case of
this specific symbol, which ends with a table:
/new_devel/v4l/docs/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-iio-temperature-max31856:2: WARNING: Malformed table.

The way the search algorithm works is that reduces the number of regex
expressions that will be checked for a given file entry at sysfs. It
does that by looking at the devnode name. For instance, when it checks for
this file:
/sys/bus/pci/drivers/iosf_mbi_pci/bind
The logic will seek only the "What:" expressions that end with "bind".
Currently, there are just a couple of What expressions that matches
it:
What: /sys/bus/fsl\-mc/drivers/.*/bind
What: /sys/bus/pci/drivers/.*/bind
It will then run an O(n²) algorithm to seek, which runs quickly
when there are few regexs to seek. There are, however, some What:
expressions that end with a wildcard. Those are harder to process.
Right now, they're all grouped together at the "others" group.
As those don't depend on the basename of the node, add an extra
loop to ensure that those will be processed at the end, if
not done yet.

Searching for symlinks is an expensive operation with the current
logic, as it is at the order of O(n^3). In practice, running the
check spends 2-3 minutes to check all symbols.
Fix it by storing the directory tree into a graph, and using
a Breadth First Search (BFS) to find the links for each sysfs node.
With such improvement, it can now report issues with ~11 seconds
on my machine.
It comes with a price, though: there are more symbols reported
as undefined after this change. I suspect it is due to some
sysfs circular loops that are dropped by BFS. Despite such
increase, it seems that the reports are now more coherent.
