  Log Message:
  -----------
  [llvm-exegesis] Make possible to execute snippets without perf counters

Performance counters may be unavailable due to various reasons (such as
access restriction via sysctl properties or the CPU model being unknown
to libpfm). On the other hand, for debugging llvm-exegesis itself it is
still useful to be able to run generated code snippets to ensure that
the snippet does not crash at run time.

The --use-dummy-perf-counters command line option makes llvm-exegesis
behave just as usual except for using fake event counts instead of asking
the kernel for actual values.
