OK, I think it does that.  So that's three votes in favor and none
opposed.  I think I'd like to quibble with some of the names a bit,
though.  The patch adds --fill-factor, but I think we should spell it
without the hyphen: --fillfactor.  I think --quiet-log should be
spelled --quiet.  I think --connect for each connection is not very
descriptive; maybe --connection-per-transaction or something, although
that's kind of long.  I think -M should be aliased to --protocol, not
--query-mode.  --skip-some-update is incorrectly pluralized; if that's
what we're going to use, it should be --skip-some-updates.
Alternatively, we could use --update-large-tables-only, which might
make the intent more clear.

On another note, it doesn't look like this updates the output of
pgbench --help, which seems important.
