[llvm-exegesis] Don't default to running&dumping all analyses to '-'
Summary: Up until the point i have looked in the source, i didn't even understood that i can disable 'cluster' output. I have always silenced it via ` &> /dev/null`. (And hoped it wasn't contributing much of the run time.) While i expect that it has it's use-cases i never once needed it so far. If i forget to silence it, console is completely flooded with that output. How about not expecting users to opt-out of analyses, but to explicitly specify the analyses that should be performed?
