perf stat: Fix trailing comma when there is no metric unit

JIRA: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-77935

upstream
========
commit 9673648
Author: James Clark <james.clark@linaro.org>

description
===========
Now that printing metric-value and metric-unit is optional,
print_running_json() shouldn't add the comma in case it becomes
trailing.

Replace all manual JSON comma stuff with a json_out() function that uses
the existing os->first tracking and auto inserts a comma if it's needed.
Update the test to handle that two of the fields can be missing.

This fixes the following test failure on Cortex A57 where the branch
misses metric is missing a required event:

  $ perf test -vvv "json output"
