A/B testing indicates this change caused a 2% score change in Safari. This seems surprising since this was intended to be a purely harness change. Reverting for now to confirm and to investigate the cause.

This also reverts "Add resource loading bar (#246)" and "Improve Benchmark constructor and instance variables (#255)" as they blocked a clean revert.

For posterity, this is tracked internally as rdar://problem/168103740

@kmiller68 Can you reproduce this regression locally, ideally even on JSC/shells?
