tools/power turbostat: end current interval upon newline input
In turbostat interval mode, a newline typed on standard input will now conclude the current interval. Data will immediately be collected and printed for that interval, and the next interval will be started. This is similar to the recently added SIGUSR1 feature. But that is for use by programs, while this is for interactive use. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
