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

Patch 1: Add support to print counts for fixed times

Changes since v1:
