[igt-dev] [PATCH i-g-t 1/3] intel_gpu_top: Do not repeat header lines in non-interactive output

[Tvrtko Ursulin]

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin at intel.com>

If output is redirected to a file, or a pipe, lets not repeat the headers
because that can usually mean user is trying to parse the data later and
so repeated headers are a hindrance.
