[PATCH v4 07/10] perf stat: introduce --ctl-fd[-ack] options

[Alexey Budankov <alexey.budankov@linux.intel.com>]

Introduce --ctl-fd[-ack] options to pass open file descriptors numbers
from command line. Extend perf-stat.txt file with --ctl-fd[-ack] options
description. Document possible usage model introduced by --ctl-fd[-ack]
options by providing example bash shell script.
