[v4: Addressed all review feedback.]
[v3: Addressed all review feedback. Update manpage for CSV. Various changes
     (see individual patches). Remove some more redundant code 
     in printout callers.]
[v2: Addressed (near) all review feedback. No manpage updates so far.
     Add support for --per-core metrics. Various cleanups.]
[v3: Everything compiles again. Some more cleanups.]
[v4: Split up abstract metrics patch into two. Fix bug with earlier
patch already enabling metrics for CSV/interval. Minor cleanups.
Man page is included]
[v5: Fix mainly bisect problems. No regressions introduced by one
patch and fixed again later. Some minor fixes in addition]
[v6: Fix running/noise printing patch.]

Currently perf stat does not support printing computed metrics for interval (-I xxx)
or CSV (-x,) mode. For example IPC or TSX metrics over time are quite useful to know.

This patch implements them. The main obstacle was that the
metrics printing was all open coded all over the metrics computation code.
The second patch refactors the metrics printing to work through call backs that
can be more easily changed. This also cleans up the metrics printing significantly.
The indentation is now handled through printf, no more need to manually count spaces.

Then based on that it implements metrics printing for CSV and interval mode.

Example output:

% perf stat  -I1000 -a sleep 1
#          time              counts unit events                    metric                              multiplex
