perf stat: Add stalled cycles to the default output

The new default output looks like this:

Performance counter stats for './loop_1b_instructions':

236.010686 task-clock # 0.996 CPUs utilized
0 context-switches # 0.000 M/sec
0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec
99 page-faults # 0.000 M/sec
756,487,646 cycles # 3.205 GHz
354,938,996 stalled-cycles # 46.92% of all cycles are idle
1,001,403,797 instructions # 1.32 insns per cycle
# 0.35 stalled cycles per insn
100,279,773 branches # 424.895 M/sec
12,646 branch-misses # 0.013 % of all branches

0.236902540 seconds time elapsed

We dropped cache-refs and cache-misses and added stalled-cycles - this is a
more generic "how well utilized is the CPU" metric.

If the stalled-cycles ratio is too high then more specific measurements can be
taken to figure out the source of the inefficiency.
