perf stat: Add support to print counts for fixed times

Introduce a new option to print counts for fixed number of times and
update 'perf stat' documentation accordingly.

Show below is the output of the new option for perf stat.

  $ perf stat -I 1000 --interval-count 2 -e cycles -a
  #           time             counts unit events
           1.002827089         93,884,870      cycles
           2.004231506         56,573,446      cycles

We can just print the counts for several times with this newly
introduced option. The usage of it is a little like 'vmstat', and it
should be used together with "-I" option.

  $ vmstat -n 1 2
  procs ---------memory-------------- --swap- ----io-- -system-- ------cpu---
   r  b swpd   free   buff   cache    si   so  bi   bo  in   cs us sy id wa st
   0  0    0 78270544 547484 51732076  0   0   0   20    1    1  1  0 99  0 0
   0  0    0 78270512 547484 51732080  0   0   0   16  477 1555  0  0 100 0 0

Changes since v3:
- merge interval_count check and times check to one line.
- fix the wrong indent in stat.h
- use stat_config.times instead of 'times' in cmd_stat function.

Changes since v2:
- none.

Changes since v1:
- change the name of the new option "times-print" to "interval-count".
- keep the new option interval specifically.

This option should be used together with "-I" option.
