This will manage pmc functionality with a more
manageable structure of subcommands rather than the
gradually accreted spaghetti logic of overlapping flags
that exists in pmcstat.
This is intended to ultimately have all the same functionality
as pmcannotate+pmccontrol+pmcstat. Currently it just has
"stat" and "system-stat" - counters for the process itself and counters
for the system as a whole respectively (i.e. system-stat includes kernel
threads). Note that the rusage results (page faults/context switches/
user/sys) for stat-system will not account for the system as a whole -
only for the child process specified on the command line.
Implementing stat was suggested by mjg@ and the output is based on that
from Linux's "perf stat".
