perf metric: Change divide by zero and !support events behavior

Division by zero causes expression parsing to fail and no metric to be
generated. This can mean for short running benchmarks metrics are not
shown. Change the behavior to make the value nan, which gets shown like:

When events aren't supported a count of 0 can be confusing and make
metrics look meaningful. Change these to be nan also which, with the
next change, gets shown like:

Ensure that nan metric values are quoted as nan isn't a valid number
