perf/aggregate: add --sort-by=regression option

One of the most interesting thing one can be interested in when
looking at performance test results is possible performance
regressions.

This new option makes it easy to spot such possible regressions.

This new option is named '--sort-by=regression' to make it
possible and easy to add other ways to sort the results, like for
example '--sort-by=utime'.

If we would like to sort according to how much the stime regressed
we could also add a new option called '--sort-by=regression:stime'.
Then '--sort-by=regression' could become a synonym for
'--sort-by=regression:rtime'.
