It is not easy to compare events on a pgbench runs (oops, the tps is down)
with for instance events in postgres log, so as to figure out what may
have cause a given glitch.
This patches adds an option to replace the "time since pgbench run
started" with a timestamp in the progress report so that it is easier to
compare timelines.
Use milliseconds for consistency with the '%n' log_prefix patch currently
submitted by Tomas Vondra in the CF.
