When we loop back to the top of doCustom after processing a backslash
command, we must reset the "now" timestamp, because that's used to
calculate the time spent executing the previous command.
Report and fix by Fabien Coelho. Backpatch to 9.5, where this was broken.
There were two issues here. First, if a query got stuck so that it took
e.g. 5 seconds, and progress interval was 1 second, no progress reports were
printed until the query returned. Fix so that we wake up specifically to
print the progress report. Secondly, if pgbench got stuck so that it would
nevertheless not print a progress report on time, and enough time passes
that it's already time to print the next progress report, just skip the one
that was missed. Before this patch, it would print the missed one with 0 TPS
immediately after the previous one.
Fabien Coelho. Backpatch to 9.4, where progress reports were added.
In pgbench, report, but ignore, any errors returned when attempting to
vacuum/truncate the default tables during startup. If the tables are
needed, we'll error out soon enough anyway.
Per discussion with Tatsuo, David Rowley, Jim Nasby, Robert, Andres,
