Some timers on certain device and test combinations can produce noisy
results, affecting the reliability of performance measurements. One
notable example of this is the Canaan K230 RISC-V development board.

An option to adjust the number of samples (--samples) has been added,
allowing developers to increase or adjust the sample count for more
reliable results.

 Auto-detection can be added later when either a count is omitted or a specific
 value or term such as '0' or 'auto' is provided. This is a development tool,
 the users will be developers primarily working on master who follow checkasm
 changes and/ or add their own tests and functionality; there's no need to
 support a feature like this or deprecate it for years if a better solution
 is submitted.
