Describe the problem

Some command line tools generate an animated progress bar by using a carriage return without newline to repeatedly overwrite the same line.

🐛 This does not work when their output is printed in the "Output" view. The carriage return causes a line break to be added.

To reproduce

1. Upload a sketch via the Arduino CLI command line interface to a board that uses an upload tool that produces an animated progress bar (e.g., Nano 33 BLE).
   🙂 There is a nice looking animated progress bar:
   cli3
2. Do the same using Arduino IDE 1.8.19.
   🙂 There is a nice looking animated progress bar:
   ide-1 x
3. Do the same using Arduino IDE 2.x
   🐛 The progress bar is not animated:
   ide-2 x

Expected behavior

The current line is overwritten from the start of the line in the "Output" view with subsequent text.

For example, this text:

foobar\rbaz

Should result in this content in the output view:

bazbar
