perf tools: Per-event time support
This patchkit adds the ability to turn off time stamps per event.
One usaful case for partial time is to work with per-event callgraph to
enable "PEBS threshold > 1" (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/10/196), which
can significantly reduce the sampling overhead.
The event samples with time stamps off will not be ordered.

Here is a list of the params. - 'period': Set event sampling period - + - 'time': Disable/enable time stamping.
