Attached is patch version 5.

It includes this solution for fork emulation, one report per thread
instead of a global report. Some code duplication for that.

It also solves conflicts introduced by the long options patch.

Finally, I've added a latency measure as defended by Mitsumasa. However
the formula must be updated for the throttling patch.

Maybe I should have submitted a bunch of changes to pgbench in one patch.
I thought that separating orthogonal things made reviewing simpler so the
patches were more likely to pass, but I'm not so sure that the other
strategy would have been that bad.
