When counting a process with perf stat -p check if the process died
and exit collection if yes.

v2: Add more checks, handle non -p again. Handle /proc not there.
v3: Handle multi pid case. Fix non /proc error path

I still think this is the wrong approach. A more complete solution would monitor all of the targets given by the user. e.g.,

1. create a perf_target__parse_pid - all it needs to do is:
   struct strlist *slist = strlist__new(false, pid_str);
and save that into the target struct. That line is currently done in thread_map.c, thread_map__new_by_pid_str() and thread_map__new_by_tid_str. Those functions can be altered to take the slist instead of the string.

2. create a perf_target__is_alive that runs through each entry in the slist (strlist__for_each(pos, slist)) and checks that it still exists. As long as 1 target is alive it returns true. If no pid or tid is specified it always returns true.

The is_alive function can be used by perf-top, perf-stat and perf-record to know that its target has died so it can stop monitoring.
