perf stat: Add csv-style output
This patch adds an option (-x/--field-separator) to print counts using a CSV-style output. The user can pass a custom separator. This makes it very easy to import counts directly into your favorite spreadsheet without having to write scripts. Example: $ perf stat --field-separator=, -a -- sleep 1 4009.961740,task-clock-msecs 13,context-switches 2,CPU-migrations 189,page-faults 9596385684,cycles 3493659441,instructions 872897069,branches 41562,branch-misses 22424,cache-references 1289,cache-misses Works also in non-aggregated mode: $ perf stat -x , -a -A -- sleep 1 CPU0,1002.526168,task-clock-msecs CPU1,1002.528365,task-clock-msecs CPU2,1002.523360,task-clock-msecs CPU3,1002.519878,task-clock-msecs CPU0,1,context-switches CPU1,5,context-switches CPU2,5,context-switches CPU3,6,context-switches CPU0,0,CPU-migrations CPU1,1,CPU-migrations CPU2,0,CPU-migrations CPU3,1,CPU-migrations CPU0,2,page-faults CPU1,6,page-faults CPU2,9,page-faults CPU3,174,page-faults CPU0,2399439771,cycles CPU1,2380369063,cycles CPU2,2399142710,cycles CPU3,2373161192,cycles CPU0,872900618,instructions CPU1,873030960,instructions CPU2,872714525,instructions CPU3,874460580,instructions CPU0,221556839,branches CPU1,218134342,branches CPU2,218161730,branches CPU3,218284093,branches CPU0,18556,branch-misses CPU1,1449,branch-misses CPU2,3447,branch-misses CPU3,12714,branch-misses CPU0,8330,cache-references CPU1,313844,cache-references CPU2,47993728,cache-references CPU3,826481,cache-references CPU0,272,cache-misses CPU1,5360,cache-misses CPU2,1342193,cache-misses CPU3,13992,cache-misses This second version adds the ability to name a separator and uses field-separator as the long option to be consistent with perf report. Commiter note: Since we enabled --big-num by default in 201e0b06 and -x can't be used with it, we need to notice if the user explicitely enabled or disabled -B, add code to disable big_num if the user didn't explicitely set --big_num when -x is used.
