The 'perf stat' subcommand supports the request for a summary of the
interval counter readings. But the summary lines break the CSV output
so it's hard for scripts to parse the result.

The summary line loses the timestamp column, which breaks the CSV
output.
We add a column at the original 'timestamp' position and it just says
'summary' for the summary line.

Now it's easy for script to analyse the summary lines.
Of course, we also consider not to break possible existing scripts which
can continue to use the broken CSV format by using a new '--no-csv-summary.'
option.

This option can be enabled in perf config by setting the variable
'stat.no-csv-summary'.
# perf config stat.no-csv-summary=true
# perf config -l
stat.no-csv-summary=true
