pgsql: Add "G" (server-side data generation) as an initialization step

From

Add "G" (server-side data generation) as an initialization step in pgbench.

This commit allows --init-steps option in pgbench to accept "G" character
meaning server-side data generation as an initialization step.
With "G", only limited queries are sent from pgbench client and
then data is actually generated in the server. This might make
the initialization phase faster if the bandwidth between pgbench client
and the server is low.
