test/perf: Disable periodic throughput reports to avoid vhost hang

Browse source 
It appears that if we run throughput tests with one-second periodic
reports, the sending side of the vhost channel used for SSH-based
command dispatch occasionally stops working altogether. I haven't
investigated this further, all I see is that output is truncated
at some point, and doesn't resume.

If we use gzip compression (ssh -C) this happens less frequently,
but it still happens, seemingly indicating the issue is probably
related to vhost itself.

Disable periodic reports in iperf3 clients. The -i options were
actually redundant, so remove them from both test files as well as
from test_iperf3().
