From: yuzhoujian <yuzhoujian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Introduce two new options for perf stat and update perf-stat documentation
accordingly.

The interval-count option can be used to print counts for fixed number of
times, and it should be used specifically with "-I" option.

Show below is the output of the interval-count option for perf stat.

$ perf stat -I 1000 --interval-count 2 -e cycles -a
# time counts unit events
1.002827089 93,884,870 cycles
2.004231506 56,573,446 cycles

The time option can be used to print counts after a period of time, and it
should not used with "-I" option.

Show below is the output of the time option for perf stat.

$ perf stat --time 2000 -e cycles -a
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

157,260,423 cycles

2.003060766 seconds time elapsed

yuzhoujian (2):
Patch 1: Add support to print counts for fixed times
Patch 2: Add support to print counts after a period of time

Changes since v1:
- change the name of the new option "times-print" to "interval-count".
- keep the interval-count option interval specifically.
