[llvm-exegesis] Add error for subprocess and dummy perf counters

[aidengrossman]

Summary

When using the subprocess execution mode and dummy perf counters
currently, cryptic errors will be printed out related to not being able
to send the file descriptor through a socket. This patch prints out an
explicit message that this configuration isn't (currently) supported.

[aidengrossman]

The plan is to support this configuration at some point (probably soon) as it should be fairly useful in a downstream application I'm working on, but for now we should report a better error message.

Bump on this when reviewers have a chance. Thanks!
