Currently, the auto-analysis is attached to the timerlat top instance.
The idea was to avoid creating another instance just for that, so one
instance could be reused.
The drawback is that, by doing so, the auto-analysis run for the entire
session, consuming CPU time. On my 24 box CPUs for timerlat with a 100
us period consumed 50 % with auto analysis, but only 16 % without.
By creating an instance for auto-analysis, we can keep the processing
stopped until a stop tracing condition is hit. Once it happens,
timerlat auto-analysis can use its own trace instance to parse only
the end of the trace.
By doing so, auto-analysis stop consuming cpu time when it is not
needed.
If the --aa-only is passed, the timerlat top instance is reused for
auto analysis.

The "Previous IRQ interference" line is misaligned and without
a \n, breaking the tool's output:
## CPU 12 hit stop tracing, analyzing it ##
Previous IRQ interference: up to 2.22 us IRQ handler delay: 18.06 us (0.00 %)
IRQ latency: 18.52 us
Timerlat IRQ duration: 4.41 us (0.00 %)
Blocking thread: 216.93 us (0.03 %)
Fix the output:
## CPU 7 hit stop tracing, analyzing it ##
Previous IRQ interference: up to 8.93 us
IRQ handler delay: 0.98 us (0.00 %)
IRQ latency: 2.95 us
Timerlat IRQ duration: 11.26 us (0.03 %)

Currently, timerlat displays a summary of the timerlat tracer results
saving the trace if the system hits a stop condition.
While this represented a huge step forward, the root cause was not
that is accessible to non-expert users.
The auto-analysis fulfill this gap by parsing the trace timerlat runs,
printing an intuitive auto-analysis.
