perf stat: Add support to print counts for fixed times
Introduce a new option to print counts for fixed number of times and
update 'perf stat' documentation accordingly.
Show below is the output of the new option for perf stat.
$ perf stat -I 1000 --interval-count 2 -e cycles -a
# time counts unit events
1.002827089 93,884,870 cycles
2.004231506 56,573,446 cycles
We can just print the counts for several times with this newly
introduced option. The usage of it is a little like 'vmstat', and it
should be used together with "-I" option.
$ vmstat -n 1 2
procs ---------memory-------------- --swap- ----io-- -system-- ------cpu---

Changes since v3:
- merge interval_count check and times check to one line.
- fix the wrong indent in stat.h
- use stat_config.times instead of 'times' in cmd_stat function.
Changes since v2:
- none.
Changes since v1:
- change the name of the new option "times-print" to "interval-count".
- keep the new option interval specifically.
