st: intra list max/rank

[Kit Baum <baum@bc.edu>]

" this is how far I am now with the egen command. but I want a list  
like that:
       | id   bid   time   rank   maxbid |
    1. |  1     1      1      1       1 |
    2. |  1     4      2      2       4 |
    3. |  1     3      3      3       4 |
    4. |  1     8      4      4       8 |
    5. |  1    10      5      5       10 |
    6. |  1    12      6      6       12 |
    7. |  1    17      7      7       17 |
    8. |  1    14      8      8       17 |

With foucus on maxbid: not the total max of the entire list, but the  
max from
bid[1] to bid[_n] for all _n's. "
