[llvm-exegesis] Analysis: writeMeasurementValue(): don't alloc string for double each time.

Summary:
Test data: 500kLOC of benchmark.yaml, 23Mb. (that is a subset of the actual uops benchmark i was trying to analyze!)
Old time: (D54382)
```
 Performance counter stats for './bin/llvm-exegesis -mode=analysis -analysis-epsilon=100000 -benchmarks-file=/tmp/benchmarks.yaml -analysis-inconsistencies-output-file=/tmp/clusters.html' (16 runs):

       9024.354355      task-clock (msec)         #    1.000 CPUs utilized            ( +-  0.18% )
...
            9.0262 +- 0.0161 seconds time elapsed  ( +-  0.18% )

New time:

-~0.3%, not that much. But this isn't the important part.

Old:
* calls to allocation functions: 2109712
* temporary allocations: 33112
* bytes allocated in total (ignoring deallocations): 4.43 GB

New:
* calls to allocation functions: 2095345 (-0.68%)
* temporary allocations: 18745 (-43.39% !!!)
* bytes allocated in total (ignoring deallocations): 4.31 GB (-2.71%)
