Description
### Feature Description
Currently if I want to change the shape of the progress bar to be round like, I only have the `--mdc-linear-progress-track-shape` to set the track shape, but not the same option for the shape of the active-indicator, which will still be square.
Also, only setting the `--mdc-linear-progress-track-shape`, will result in the active indicator overflowing, leaving me with an inconsistent progress-bar (see 1st picture)
Hence that leaves me with the better option of just setting the `border-radius` of the `mat-progress-bar` element itself, because this doesn't cause the active-indicator to overflow. In this case the `--mdc-linear-progress-track-shape` becomes redundant.
1. Screenshot with `--mdc-linear-progress-track-shape: 4px;`, causing the active-indicator to overflow:
2. Screenshot with `--mdc-linear-progress-track-shape: 4px;` and `border-radius: 4px`, rendering the `--mdc-linear-progress-track-shape` redundant:
3. Screenshot with only `border-radius: 4px;` leaving me with an almost round progress bar, except that the active-indicator is not actually round.
So there need to be an option to set the `--mdc-linear-progress-active-indicator-shape` like for other components, so that the active-indicator can be made round, as shown in the [Token and Specs section in the Material 3 specification](https://m3.material.io/components/progress-indicators/specs)
### Use Case
This would enable a very relevant an normal use case that is also shown in the [Token and Specs section in the Material 3 specification](https://m3.material.io/components/progress-indicators/specs).
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the progress-bar component and trace how --mdc-linear-progress-track-shape is applied to the track and active indicator. Compare the styling with the Material 3 progress-indicator Token and Specs section, then verify that the new active-indicator shape option rounds the indicator without overflow.
