Add ramp_time option

Sometimes it's useful to let a job settle for a little while
before taking any measurements on latency and throughput, since
the initial rate on eg a write workload may be much higher than
the longer sustained rate.

So add a ramp_time option that allows the user to specify a lead
ramp time that must have passed before fio takes any performance
numbers into account.
