Continue the latency measurements while up/downloads are running #13

Description

@tohojo

Having another speedtest that also measures latency and jitter is great! However, the way the test is currently setup, where it only runs the latency test before the download/upload tests are started, misses an important metric for connection performance: Bufferbloat, or excess latency under load (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bufferbloat and https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/bloat/wiki/Introduction/ for details, ).

So please consider extending the test to keep the latency measurements running during the throughput tests, and report the latency added relative to the baseline. See https://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/results/bufferbloat for the aggregate results of a speedtest that does this right.
