perf stat: Introduce --control fd:ctl-fd[,ack-fd] options

Introduce --control fd:ctl-fd[,ack-fd] options to pass open file
descriptors numbers from command line. Extend perf-stat.txt file with
--control fd:ctl-fd[,ack-fd] options description. Document possible
usage model introduced by --control fd:ctl-fd[,ack-fd] options by
providing example bash shell script.
