[tools] Add support for --confidence-level flag to tools/try_perf.py

See example v8_linux64_perf_try(_triggered) builds on this CL triggered using
the following command lines:

  python tools/try_perf.py --linux64 --confidence-level 1 compile
  python tools/try_perf.py --linux64 --confidence-level 1 arewefastyet
  python tools/try_perf.py --linux64 --confidence-level 3 arewefastyet

This also fixes running tools/run_perf.py --help and adds logging for the
current confidence level, which allows users to monitor progress. Example runs:

  https://chrome-swarming.appspot.com/task?id=456e4d6e743cc510 (Compile)
  https://chrome-swarming.appspot.com/task?id=456e5145615aa510 (JetStream)
  https://chrome-swarming.appspot.com/task?id=456e53eeb9104410 (JSBench)
  https://chrome-swarming.appspot.com/task?id=456e541e0e13bc10 (AreWeFastYet)

Finally, this adds support for fractional confidence levels. Example runs:

  https://chrome-swarming.appspot.com/task?id=456e5970e6f24410 (AreWeFastYet)
  https://chrome-swarming.appspot.com/task?id=456e5a8f3f407c10 (Compile)
