Fix progress bar flicker with -L

This was caused by -L calling setLogFormat() again, which caused the
creation of a new progress bar without destroying the old one. So we
had two progress bars clobbering each other.

We should change 'logger' to be a smart pointer, but I'll do that in a
future PR.

Fixes #6931.
