perf stat: Add "--per-cache" aggregation option and document it
This patch adds support for "--per-cache" option for aggregation at a
particular cache level and documents the same.
Following is the output of 'perf stat' with aggregation at L3 for the
event "ls_dmnd_fills_from_sys.ext_cache_remote" on a dual socket 3rd
Generation EPYC Processor (2 x 64C/128T - 16 LLCs) when running
hackbench pinned to 4 LLCs:
$ sudo perf stat --per-cache=L3 -a -e ls_dmnd_fills_from_sys.ext_cache_remote -- \
taskset -c 0-15,64-79,128-143,192-207 \
perf bench sched messaging -p -t -l 100000 -g 8

Also support 'perf stat record' and 'perf stat report' with the ability
to specify a different cache level to aggregate data at when running
'perf stat report'.

On the above system, the domain covered by S0-D0-L3-ID0 contains
S0-D0-L2-ID0 to S0-D0-L2-ID7, the corresponding count for L3-ID0 is
equal to the sum of counts for L2-ID0 to L2-ID7.
Add documentation for the newly introduced "--per-cache" option.
