perf record: Add 'snapshot' control command

Browse source 
Add 'snapshot' control command to create an AUX area tracing snapshot
the same as if sending SIGUSR2. The advantage of the FIFO is that access
is governed by access to the FIFO.

Example:

  $ mkfifo perf.control
  $ mkfifo perf.ack
  $ cat perf.ack &
  [1] 15235
  $ sudo ~/bin/perf record --control fifo:perf.control,perf.ack -S -e intel_pt//u -- sleep 60 &
  [2] 15243
  $ ps -e | grep perf
   15244 pts/1    00:00:00 perf
  $ kill -USR2 15244
  bash: kill: (15244) - Operation not permitted
  $ echo snapshot > perf.control
  ack
  $

--control=fd:ctl-fd[,ack-fd]::
ctl-fifo / ack-fifo are opened and used as ctl-fd / ack-fd as follows.
Listen on ctl-fd descriptor for command to control measurement ('enable': enable events,
'disable': disable events). Measurements can be started with events disabled using
--delay=-1 option. Optionally send control command completion ('ack\n') to ack-fd descriptor
to synchronize with the controlling process. Example of bash shell script to enable and
disable events during measurements:
'disable': disable events, 'snapshot': AUX area tracing snapshot). Measurements can be
started with events disabled using --delay=-1 option. Optionally send control command
completion ('ack\n') to ack-fd descriptor to synchronize with the controlling process.
Example of bash shell script to enable and disable events during measurements:
#!/bin/bash
