Allow backslash line continuations in pgbench's meta commands.
A pgbench meta command can now be continued onto additional line(s) of a
script file by writing backslash-return. The continuation marker is
equivalent to white space in that it separates tokens.
Eventually it'd be nice to have the same thing in psql, but that will
be a much larger project.
