perf tools: Add the ability to specify list of cpus to monitor

This patch adds a -C option to stat, record, top to designate a list of CPUs to
monitor. CPUs can be specified as a comma-separated list or ranges, no space
allowed.

Examples:
$ perf record -a -C0-1,4-7 sleep 1
$ perf top -C0-4
$ perf stat -a -C1,2,3,4 sleep 1

With perf record in per-thread mode with inherit mode on, samples are collected
only when the thread runs on the designated CPUs.

The -C option does not turn on system-wide mode automatically.
