TypeError: process.stdout.clearLine is not a function

[technophile-04]

Description :

Its seems process.stdout.clearLine might not work in some OS / node versions, recently encountered this error in our gh-actions CI job :
https://github.com/scaffold-eth/scaffold-eth-2/actions/runs/7158553408/job/19490782791

hardhat-ignition/packages/hardhat-plugin/src/ui/pretty-event-handler.ts

Line 455 in 4e06abf

process.stdout.clearLine(0);

I think this was the cause in our case

Possible solution is to use clearLine from node's readline:

import { clearLine } from 'readline'

clearLine(process.stdout, 0)

Thanks @technophile-04, we will attempt to swap in the readline version of clearLine.
Either way we will get a fix in place to resolve running ignition within a github action.
