Add support to display group output for if non grouped events are
detected and user forces --group option. Now for non-group events
recorded like:
$ perf record -e 'cycles,instructions' ls
you can still get group output by using --group option
in report:
$ perf report --group --stdio

Committer note:
We should improve on this by making sure that the first line states that
this is not a group, but since the user doesn't have to force group view
when really using grouped events (e.g. '{cycles,instructions}'), the
user better know what is being done...
