Re: pgbench: using prepared BEGIN statement in a pipeline could cause an error

ISTM that moving prepare out of command execution is a good idea, so I'm 
in favor of this approach: the code is simpler and cleaner.

ISTM that a minor impact is that the preparation is not counted in the 
command performance statistics. I do not think that it is a problem, even 
if it would change detailed results under -C -r -M prepared.

Patch applies & compiles cleanly, global & local make check ok. However 
the issue is not tested. I think that the patch should add a tap test case 
for the problem being addressed.

I'd suggest to move the statement preparation call in the 
CSTATE_CHOOSE_SCRIPT case.
