perf stat: Continue even on counter creation error

Before:

 $ perf stat ~/hackbench 5

 error: syscall returned with -1 (No such device)

After:

 $ perf stat ~/hackbench 5
 Time: 1.640

 Performance counter stats for '/home/mingo/hackbench 5':

    6524.570382  task-clock-ticks     #       3.838 CPU utilization factor
          35704  context-switches     #       0.005 M/sec
            191  CPU-migrations       #       0.000 M/sec
           8958  page-faults          #       0.001 M/sec
  <not counted>  cycles
  <not counted>  instructions
  <not counted>  cache-references
  <not counted>  cache-misses

 Wall-clock time elapsed:  1699.999995 msecs

Also add -v (--verbose) option to allow the printing of failed
counter opens.

Plus dont print 'inf' if wall-time is zero (due to jiffies granularity),
instead skip the printing of the CPU utilization factor.
