workload/ycsb: add flag to use column families

This change adds a new `--families` flag to the ycsb workload. Now
that cockroachdb#18168 is addressed, this significantly reduces the contention
present in the workload by avoiding conflicts on updates to different
columns in the same table.

Release note: None
