Let us be nice to users. Attached is a very small patch which adds a
simple HINT on this initial failure, for submission to the next
commitfest.

sh> ./pgbench foo
ERROR: relation "pgbench_branches" does not exist
LINE 1: select count(*) from pgbench_branches
^
HINT: is "foo" the right database? did you initialize first (pgbench -i)?
