pgbench: increase the maximum number of variables/arguments
pgbench's arbitrary limit of 10 arguments for SQL statements or metacommands is far too low. Increase it to 256. This results in a very modest increase in memory usage, not enough to worry about. The maximum includes the SQL statement or metacommand. This is reflected in the comments and revised TAP tests. Simon Riggs and Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker with some light editing by me.
