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.

normally extend to the end of the line, although they can be continued
to additional lines by writing backslash-return.
Arguments to a meta command are separated by white space.
