* 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.
