David Ahern 2cee77c450 perf stat: clarify unsupported events from uncounted events
perf stat continues running even if the event list contains counters
that are not supported. The resulting output then contains <not counted>
for those events which gets confusing as to which events are supported,
but not counted and which are not supported.

Before:

perf stat -ddd -- sleep 1

      Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

v1->v2:
changed supported type from int to bool

v2->v3
fixed vertical alignment of new struct element
