Add 'perf kvm stat' support to analyze kvm vmexit/mmio/ioport smartly

Usage:
- kvm stat
   run a command and gather performance counter statistics, it is the alias of
   perf stat

- trace kvm events:
   perf kvm stat record, or, if other tracepoints are interesting as well, we
   can append the events like this:
   perf kvm stat record -e timer:* -a

   If many guests are running, we can track the specified guest by using -p or
   --pid, -a is used to track events generated by all guests.

- show the result:
   perf kvm stat report

The output example is following:
# pgrep qemu
13005
13059

total 2 guests are running on the host

Then, track the guest whose pid is 13059:
# ./perf kvm stat record -p 13059
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.253 MB perf.data.guest (~11065 samples) ]

See the vmexit events:
# ./perf kvm stat report --event=vmexit


Analyze events for all VCPUs:

And, --vcpu is used to track the specified vcpu and --key is used to sort the
result:
# ./perf kvm stat report --event=vmexit --vcpu=0 --key=time
