perf stat: Add --log-fd <N> option to redirect stderr elsewhere
This perf stat option emulates valgrind's --log-fd option, allowing the user to send perf results elsewhere, and leaving stderr for use by the program under test. This complements --output file option, and is mutually exclusive with it. 3>results perf stat --log-fd 3 -- $cmd 3>>results perf stat --log-fd 3 --append -- $cmd The perl distro's make test.valgrind target uses valgrind's --log-fd option, I've adapted it to invoke perf also, and tested this patch there.
