Subject: [PATCH 2/2] scripts: show_delta: add --delta-only option

The --delta-only option makes show_delta print delta time stamps
only (and not the combination of absolute and delta time stamps
which is the default).

Rationale: Easier to diff kernel logs (with graphical diff tool)
when debugging timing issues. Having absolute time stamps
when diffing the output from two different test runs could
potentially (and likely) make the diff tool detect a lot of irrelevant
differences.
