Add a new dlfilter to show cycles.
Cycle counts are accumulated per CPU (or per thread if CPU is not recorded)
from IPC information, and printed together with the change since the last
print, at the start of each line. Separate counts are kept for branches,
instructions or other events.
Note also, the itrace A option can be useful to provide higher granularity
cycle information.
Example:
$ perf record -e intel_pt/cyc/u uname
Linux
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.044 MB perf.data ]
$ perf script --itrace=A --call-trace --dlfilter dlfilter-show-cycles.so --deltatime | head
0 perf-exec 8509 [001] 0.000000000: psb offs: 0

Add a perf test to test the dlfilter C API.
A perf.data file is synthesized and then processed by perf script with a
dlfilter named dlfilter-test-api-v0.so. Also a C file is compiled to
provide a dso to match the synthesized perf.data file.
Committer testing:
[root@five ~]# perf test dlfilter
72: dlfilter C API : Ok
[root@five ~]# perf test -v dlfilter
