nix repl: Only hide the progress bar while waiting for user input

In commit 0d2163c6dc, the progress bar was hidden
in nix repl because of a regression that caused it to interfere with user
input. Several users like(d) seeing the progress bar in the repl during builds.
Only hiding it while waiting for user input gives us the best of both worlds,
so do just that.
