[PATCH] perf stat: Make metric only column line up with header

[Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>]

Since some time the metric-only output columns are messed up and do not
line up with the header, which makes it hard to read. I haven't bisected
it, but presumably it was broken for some time.

There were multiple problems:
- The dummy pm invocation at the beginning did print a bogus field
- The column computation in pm did not agree with the header length
- The color escape strings from highlighting confuse printf's field
  length computation

Fix all those. I simplified the column width computation significantly,
ignoring EVNAME_LEN, MGROUP_LEN, config->unit_width which don't
seem to be useful in the metric only context. It now only uses
the actual unit width as well as config->metric_only_len. The result
is more code removed than added.

Before:

% perf stat --topdown -a -I 1000
     1.000190386                                         45.5                   40.0                     5.3                     9.2
     2.005185654                                         45.3                   40.1                     5.6                     9.0
     3.009193207                                         45.4                   39.9                     5.6                     9.1

After:

% perf stat --topdown -a -I 1000
     1.000810024                 46.3                 39.7                   5.3                 8.7
     2.004800656                 45.8                 39.8                   5.4                 8.9
     3.008804783                 46.0                 39.6                   5.4                 9.0
