Remove now-unnecessary thread pointer arguments in pgbench.

Not required after nuking the zipfian thread-local cache.

Also add a comment about hazardous pointer punning in threadRun(),
and avoid using "thread" to refer to the threads array as a whole.

Fabien Coelho and Tom Lane, per suggestion from Alvaro Herrera
