[PATCH v3] perf tools: Support -x for perf stat report

[PATCH v3] perf tools: Support -x for perf stat report

[Andi Kleen]

Add support for the -x, option to enable CSV output with perf stat
report. Useful to parse the information with other programs.

% perf stat record --quiet -a -I 1000 sleep 5
% perf stat report -x,

v2: Fix default output (Jiri). Also handle \t as special value like the
original parser (Andi)
v3: Use DEFAULT_SEPARATOR
