Power10 Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU) provides events
to understand stall cycles of different pipeline stages.
These events along with completed instructions provides
useful metrics for application tuning.

Patch implements the json changes to collect counter statistics
to present the high level CPI stall breakdown metrics. New metric
group is named as "CPI_STALL_RATIO" and this new metric group
presents these stall metrics:
- DISPATCHED_CPI ( Dispatch stall cycles per insn )
- ISSUE_STALL_CPI ( Issue stall cycles per insn )
- EXECUTION_STALL_CPI ( Execution stall cycles per insn )
- COMPLETION_STALL_CPI ( Completition stall cycles per insn )

To avoid multipling of events, PM_RUN_INST_CMPL event has been
modified to use PMC5(performance monitoring counter5) instead
of PMC4. This change is needed, since completion stall event
is using PMC4.

Usage example:

 ./perf stat --metric-no-group -M CPI_STALL_RATIO <workload>

 Performance counter stats for 'workload':

    63,056,817,982      PM_CMPL_STALL                    #     0.28 COMPLETION_STALL_CPI
 1,743,988,038,896      PM_ISSUE_STALL                   #     7.73 ISSUE_STALL_CPI
   225,597,495,030      PM_RUN_INST_CMPL                 #     6.18 DISPATCHED_CPI
                                                  #    37.48 EXECUTION_STALL_CPI
 1,393,916,546,654      PM_DISP_STALL_CYC
 8,455,376,836,463      PM_EXEC_STALL

"--metric-no-group" is used for forcing PM_RUN_INST_CMPL to be scheduled
in all group for more accuracy.
