perf stat: Implement CSV metrics output

Now support CSV output for metrics. With the new output callbacks this
is relatively straight forward by creating new callbacks.

This allows to easily plot metrics from CSV files.

The new line callback needs to know the number of fields to skip them
correctly

Example output before:

  % perf stat -x, true
  0.200687,,task-clock,200687,100.00
  0,,context-switches,200687,100.00
  0,,cpu-migrations,200687,100.00
  40,,page-faults,200687,100.00
  730871,,cycles,203601,100.00
  551056,,stalled-cycles-frontend,203601,100.00
  <not supported>,,stalled-cycles-backend,0,100.00
  385523,,instructions,203601,100.00
  78028,,branches,203601,100.00
  3946,,branch-misses,203601,100.00

After:

  % perf stat -x, true
  .502457,,task-clock,502457,100.00,0.485,CPUs utilized
  0,,context-switches,502457,100.00,0.000,K/sec
  0,,cpu-migrations,502457,100.00,0.000,K/sec
  45,,page-faults,502457,100.00,0.090,M/sec
  644692,,cycles,509102,100.00,1.283,GHz
  423470,,stalled-cycles-frontend,509102,100.00,65.69,frontend cycles idle
  <not supported>,,stalled-cycles-backend,0,100.00,,,,
  492701,,instructions,509102,100.00,0.76,insn per cycle
  ,,,,,0.86,stalled cycles per insn
  97767,,branches,509102,100.00,194.578,M/sec
  4788,,branch-misses,509102,100.00,4.90,of all branches

or easier readable

  $ perf stat  -x, -o x.csv true
  $ column -s, -t x.csv

  97278           branches                497698 100.00 198.270 M/sec
  4569            branch-misses           497698 100.00 4.70    of all branches

Two new fields are added: metric value and metric name.

v2: Split out function argument changes
v3: Reenable metrics for real.
v4: Fix wrong hunk from refactoring.
v5: Remove extra "noise" printing (Jiri), but add it to the not counted case.
Print empty metrics for not counted.
v6: Avoid outputting metric on empty format.
v7: Print metric at the end
v8: Remove extra run, ena fields
v9: Avoid extra new line for unsupported counters
