I was playing with a few meta command scenarios while looking at this
patch, and this sequence generates an error that should never happen:
$ cat /tmp/test.sql
\startpipeline
\syncpipeline
$ pgbench -n -f /tmp/test.sql -M extended
[...]
pgbench: error: unexpected transaction status 1
pgbench: error: client 0 aborted while receiving the transaction status

It looks to me that we need to be much smarter than that for the error
handling we'd need when a sync request is optionally sent when a
transaction stops at the end of pgbench. Could you look at it?
