[PATCH v2 2/2] perf stat: Add support to print counts after a period of time

[ufo19890607]

From: yuzhoujian <yuzhoujian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Introduce a new option to print counts after N milliseconds
and update perf-stat documentation accordingly.

Show below is the output of the new 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

We can print the count deltas after N milliseconds with this new
introduced option. This option is not supported with "-I" option.

Changes since v1:
- none.
