Make the flags and types public for reuse

Proposal

Make the flags and types public so we can use the same flags when we build our own vegeta attacker binary.

[tsenart]

I don't understand this proposal. Please elaborate appropriately.

[bzon]

@tsenart we are trying to use vegeta as a library to customize our attack code. Our goal is to build a new binary out of our custom code.

We want to use the same fs.FlagSet that the main vegeta code is using but we cannot because they are private or unexported.

[tsenart]

I see. In the meantime, can't you fork vegeta and change the code directly to your needs?

[bzon]

@tsenart yep! I actually did that.

[tsenart]

I don't think this is a common enough use case that it justifies the added API surface. I think forking is a fine approach.
