This also fixes#1135. Because StrSplit was returning a vector with an
empty string, it was treated by PerfCounters::Create as a legitimate ask
for setting up a counter with that name. The empty vector is understood
by PerfCounters as "just return NoCounters()".
* Support optional, user-directed collection of performance counters
The patch allows an engineer wishing to drill into the root causes
of a regression, for example. Currently, only single threaded runs
are supported. The feature is a build-time opt in, and then a runtime
opt in.
The engineer may run the benchmark executable, passing a list of
performance counter names (using libpfm's naming scheme) at the
command line. The counter values will then be collected and reported
back as UserCounters.
This is different from #240 in that it is a benchmark user opt-in, and
the counter collection is transparent to the benchmark.
Currently, this is only supported on platforms where libpfm is
supported.

* 'Use' values param in Snapshot when BENCHMARK_OS_WINDOWS
This is to avoid unused parameter warning-as-error
* Added missing include for <vector> in perf_counters.cc
* Moved doc to docs
* Added license blurbs
* Guard ASSERT_THROWS checks with BENCHMARK_HAS_NO_EXCEPTIONS
This allows the test be run with exceptions turned off
* Add myself to CONTRIBUTORS

Fixes#741
* Fix compilation on Android with GNU STL
GNU STL in Android NDK lacks string conversion functions from C++11, including std::stoul, std::stoi, and std::stod.
This patch reimplements these functions in benchmark:: namespace using C-style equivalents from C++03.
* Avoid use of log2 which doesn't exist in Android GNU STL
GNU STL in Android NDK lacks log2 function from C99/C++11.
This patch replaces their use in the code with double log(double) function.
