perf stat: Display length strings of each run for --table option

Adding support to display visual aid 'length strings' to easily spot the
biggest difference in time table.

  $ perf stat -r 10 --table perf bench sched pipe
  ...

   Performance counter stats for './perf bench sched pipe' (5 runs):

             # Table of individual measurements:
             5.189 (-0.293) #
             5.189 (-0.294) #
             5.186 (-0.296) #

             5.483 +- 0.198 seconds time elapsed  ( +-  3.62% )
