I added the --repeats option to improve benchmark stability a few years ago, but after trying it in CI for a while it didn't really improve the overall picture because OS-level instability was the main source of noise. Repeating in the test harness by invoking the command line multiple times is slower but actually gives more stable results because we can permute the order to spread apart repeats of the same image, so it's less likely that OS-level instability hits all of them.

Given the option in the CLI application is not really useful, remove and save some code size.
