perf tools: Per-event time support

This patchkit adds the ability to turn off time stamps per event.

One usaful case for partial time is to work with per-event callgraph to
enable "PEBS threshold > 1" (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/10/196), which
can significantly reduce the sampling overhead.

The event samples with time stamps off will not be ordered.

These params can be used to overload default config values per event.
Here is a list of the params.
- 'period': Set event sampling period
- 'time': Disable/enable time stamping. Acceptable values are 1 for
enabling time stamping. 0 for disabling time stamping.
The default is 1.
Note: If user explicitly sets options which conflict with the params,
the value set by the params will be overridden.
