ApacheBench Perl API changes - ver 0.6x

scripts that use the 0.5x API will not work correctly using 0.6x.
I apologize for the forced upgrade, but the 0.5x API was non-intuitive
and buggy.  The new 0.6x API will remain stable from now on.  Any future
changes will be accompanied by backwards compatibility fixes.

To upgrade scripts that were written for ApacheBench 0.5x:

1) When calling configuration methods, 'filesize' has been renamed to
   'buffersize'.  For individual runs, 'cookie' has been renamed to 'cookies'.

   The fix:
   - replace all $b->config({ filesize => XXX }) occurrences with
     $b->config({ buffersize => XXX }), or better yet: $b->buffersize(XXX)

2) The run configuration add() method no longer exists.  You now have to
   instantiate a new Run object and call add_run() on it.

   The fix:
   - replace all $b->add({ ... }) occurrences with:
