perf metricgroup: Add options to not group or merge

Add --metric-no-group that causes all events within metrics to not be
grouped. This can allow the event to get more time when multiplexed, but
may also lower accuracy.
Add --metric-no-merge option. By default events in different metrics may
be shared if the group of events for one metric is the same or larger
than that of the second. Sharing may increase or lower accuracy and so
is now configurable.
