[PATCH 12/14] perf/bench: Harmonize all the -l/--nr_loops options

[Ingo Molnar]

We have three benchmarking subsystems that specify some sort of
'number of loops' parameter - but all of them do it inconsistently:

 numa:              -l/--nr_loops
 sched messaging:   -l/--loops
 mem memset/memcpy: -i/--iterations

Harmonize them to -l/--nr_loops by picking the numa variant - which
is also the most likely one to have existing scripting which we don't
want to break.

Plus improve the parameter help texts to indicate the default value
for the nr_loops variable to keep users from guessing ...

Also propagate the naming to internal variables.
