[PATCH] perf stat: Align CSV output for summary mode

From: Jin Yao

perf-stat has supported the summary mode. But the summary
lines break the CSV output so it's hard for scripts to parse
the result.

Before:

# perf stat -x, -I1000 --interval-count 1 --summary

The summary line loses the timestamp column, which breaks the
CVS output.

We add a column at the 'timestamp' position and it just says 'summary'
for the summary line.

After:

# perf stat -x, -I1000 --interval-count 1 --summary
1.001196053,8012.72,msec,cpu-clock,8012722903,100.00,8.013,CPUs utilized

Now it's easy for script to analyse the summary lines.
