Fix some subtle problems in pgbench transaction stats counting.

With --latency-limit, transactions might get skipped even beyond the
transaction count limit specified by -t, throwing off the expected
number of transactions and thus the denominator for later stats.
Be sure to stop skipping transactions once -t is reached.

Also, include skipped transactions in the "cnt" fields; this requires
discounting them again in a couple of places, but most places are
better off with this definition.  In particular this is needed to
get correct overall stats for the combination of -R/-L/-t options.
Merge some more processing into processXactStats() to simplify this.

In passing, add a check that --progress-timestamp is specified only
when --progress is.

We might consider back-patching this, but given that it only matters
for a combination of options, and given the lack of field complaints,
consensus seems to be not to bother.
