perf test: Add -w/--workload option

[ Upstream commit f215054d74 ]

The -w/--workload option is to run a simple workload used by testing.
This adds a basic framework to run the workloads and 'noploop' workload
as an example.

  $ perf test -w noploop

The noploop does a loop doing nothing (NOP) for a second by default.
It can have an optional argument to specify the time in seconds.
