Add support for other ways of triggering intermediate result outputs

Fio has support for using the USR1 signal to dump the current
results while continuing to run. Add a --status-interval parameter
to allow this to be configured to automatically happen every X
seconds.

There's also support for signaling fio through the file system. To
do that, simply touch /tmp/fio-dump-status. When fio sees this file,
it will unlink and dump the current results.

A small tweak is needed for the file approach to work in Windows.
