Display fails with only one sample #261

Description

@LilithHafner

I ran into this issue when benchmarking a long running function in the REPL where display is automatic:

julia> @benchmark long_running()

It can be easily replicated with

@benchmark sleep(5)

or

@benchmark 1+1 samples=1

To get a nicer error message, I displayed explicitly with this:

julia> display(@benchmark sleep(5))
BechmarkTools.Trial: 1 samples with 1 evaluations.
 Range (min … max):  5.004 s … 5.004 s  ┊ GC (min … max): 0.00% … 0.00%

I'd rather get this:
