bugfix: Parameter duration does not work

Vswitchperf help describes two different options, which will
set lenght of the test or duration of its iteration. It can be set
either by parameter --duration or by --test-params CLI option
duration. However only the second option is implemented. It is
enough to support only one option and thus --duration parameter
has been removed.
