perf stat: Add --log-fd <N> option to redirect stderr elsewhere
This perf stat option emulates valgrind's --log-fd option, allowing the
user to send perf results elsewhere, and leaving stderr for use by the
program under test. This complements --output file option, and is
mutually exclusive with it.
3>results perf stat --log-fd 3 -- $cmd
3>>results perf stat --log-fd 3 --append -- $cmd
The perl distro's make test.valgrind target uses valgrind's --log-fd
option, I've adapted it to invoke perf also, and tested this patch
there.
