Description

**Description:** When the animations on the device are off, then an indeterminate `CircularProgressIndicator` is completely invisible

**Expected behavior:** There is a non-animated version of the progress visible

**Android API version:** API 28, probably all of them though

**Material Library version:** 1.3.0

Here's how the system `ProgressBar` (API 28) looks like when the animations are off, this is not animating:

First reproduce the invisible indeterminate CircularProgressIndicator with device animations disabled on Android API 28, then compare it with the system ProgressBar behavior; done means a non-animated progress indicator remains visible.
