Add tqdm progress bar to predict function

[rebeccageowatch]

Hello,

I use Yolo v11 for task=classify and I have not found anywhere how to do it nor this suggestion in the ideas forum.

Currently with yolo v11 the predict function prints the progress for each image if verbose=True. However with a lot of images it is not optimal to let verbose=True. It would be better to have the possibility to show progress with a tqdm bar.
