Currently perf-stat supports to print counts at regular interval (-I),
but it's not very easy for user to get the overall statistics.

With this patchset, it supports to report the summary at the end of
interval output.

For example,

root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -e cycles -I1000 --interval-count 2
# time counts unit events
1.000412064 2,281,114 cycles
2.001383658 2,547,880 cycles

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

4,828,994 cycles

2.002860349 seconds time elapsed

root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -e cycles,instructions -I1000 --interval-count 2
# time counts unit events
1.000389902 1,536,093 cycles
1.000389902 420,226 instructions # 0.27 insn per cycle
2.001433453 2,213,952 cycles
2.001433453 735,465 instructions # 0.33 insn per cycle

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

3,750,045 cycles
1,155,691 instructions # 0.31 insn per cycle

2.003023361 seconds time elapsed

root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -M CPI,IPC -I1000 --interval-count 2
# time counts unit events
1.000435121 905,303 inst_retired.any # 2.9 CPI
1.000435121 2,663,333 cycles
1.000435121 914,702 inst_retired.any # 0.3 IPC
1.000435121 2,676,559 cpu_clk_unhalted.thread
2.001615941 1,951,092 inst_retired.any # 1.8 CPI
2.001615941 3,551,357 cycles
2.001615941 1,950,837 inst_retired.any # 0.5 IPC
2.001615941 3,551,044 cpu_clk_unhalted.thread

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

2,856,395 inst_retired.any # 2.2 CPI
6,214,690 cycles
2,865,539 inst_retired.any # 0.5 IPC
6,227,603 cpu_clk_unhalted.thread
