Avoid printing "issues rwts" when user has supplied "verify_only" option, since the IOs are not submitted.

Fixes: #1499

What is the harm in having the issued rwts line for verify_only workloads?

I think if anything we should leave the output alone and just update the verify_only documentation to note that any writes reported in the output to be issued are phantom writes.

With `verify_only` option, no writes are actually issued. Update the man
page and the HOWTO doc explaining that the writes in the fio output are
phantom writes.
