perf sched stats: Add support for live mode

The live mode works similar to simple `perf stat` command, by profiling
the target and printing results on the terminal as soon as the target
finishes.

Example usage:

  # perf sched stats -- true
  Description
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  DESC                          -> Description of the field
  COUNT                         -> Value of the field
  PCT_CHANGE                    -> Percent change with corresponding base value
  AVG_JIFFIES                   -> Avg time in jiffies between two consecutive occurrence of event
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Time elapsed (in jiffies)                                        :           1

  ... and so on. Output will show similar data for all the cpus in the
system.
