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.
