In v19 patch, the description of --continue-on-error was placed right after
--verbose-errors in the docs. Since pgbench long option descriptions are listed
in alphabetical order, I've moved it to follow --aggregate-interval instead.
I've also refined the wording of the --continue-on-error description.

Attached is the updated patch. Unless there are any objections, I will
commit it.
