perf stat: Enable iostat mode for x86 platforms

This functionality is based on recently introduced sysfs attributes for
Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor family (code name Skylake-SP):

Commit bb42b3d39781d7fc ("perf/x86/intel/uncore: Expose an Uncore unit to IIO PMON mapping")

Mode is intended to provide four I/O performance metrics in MB per each
PCIe root port:

- Inbound Read: I/O devices below root port read from the host memory
- Inbound Write: I/O devices below root port write to the host memory
- Outbound Read: CPU reads from I/O devices below root port
- Outbound Write: CPU writes to I/O devices below root port

Each metric requiries only one uncore event which increments at every 4B
transfer in corresponding direction. The formulas to compute metrics
are generic:
#EventCount * 4B / (1024 * 1024)
