ic_stat_register_event(++Event, ++Description)

Registers a new stats event to be collected

Event: The short name of the event
Description: The long name of the event

Description

When a program wishes to record events of interest throughout its runtime it can do so by first:

Registering the event type with stats logger at the beginning of the program eg.
```
ic_stat_register_event('myevent','My really important event').
```

Then by placing calles to ic_event/1 throughout its code.

foo:-
	ic_event('myevent'),
	bar(X).

While stats gathering is not enabled (ie. without the program explicitly calling ic_stat(on) these events are processed very efficiently, and so can be left in code without incurring any significant overhead.
