perf stat: Add stalled cycles accounting, prettify the resulting output

Add stalled cycles accounting and use it to print the "cycles stalled per
instruction" value.

Also change the unit of the cycles output from M/sec to GHz - this is more
intuitive.

Prettify the output to:

Performance counter stats for './loop_1b_instructions':

239.775036 task-clock # 0.997 CPUs utilized
761,903,912 cycles # 3.178 GHz
356,620,620 stalled-cycles # 46.81% of all cycles are idle
1,001,578,351 instructions # 1.31 insns per cycle
# 0.36 stalled cycles per insn
14,782 cache-references # 0.062 M/sec
5,694 cache-misses # 38.520 % of all cache refs

0.240493656 seconds time elapsed

Also adjust the --repeat output to make the percentages align vertically:

Performance counter stats for './loop_1b_instructions' (10 runs):

236.096793 task-clock # 0.997 CPUs utilized ( +- 0.011% )
756,553,086 cycles # 3.204 GHz ( +- 0.002% )
354,942,692 stalled-cycles # 46.92% of all cycles are idle ( +- 0.008% )
1,001,389,700 instructions # 1.32 insns per cycle
# 0.35 stalled cycles per insn ( +- 0.000% )
10,166 cache-references # 0.043 M/sec ( +- 0.742% )
468 cache-misses # 4.608 % of all cache refs ( +- 13.385% )

0.236874136 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.01% )
