David Carrillo-Cisneros e9def1b2e7 perf tools: Add feature header record to pipe-mode
Add header record types to pipe-mode, reusing the functions
used in file-mode and leveraging the new struct feat_fd.

For alignment, check that synthesized events don't exceed
pagesize.

Add the perf_event__synthesize_feature event call back to
process the new header records.

Before this patch:

  $ perf record -o - -e cycles sleep 1 | perf report --stdio --header
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]
  ...

After this patch:
  $ perf record -o - -e cycles sleep 1 | perf report --stdio --header

Simon Que 2acad19500 perf tools: Update documentation info about quipper
The existing link is outdated. The most recent quipper code can be found at the
new URL.

Committer notes:

Quipper is a C++ parser that can be used to convert from a perf.data
file to and from a protobuf, a Chromium OS facility.

Andi Kleen d4897e1935 perf tools: Add documentation for perf.data on disk format
Add some documentation for the on disk format of perf.data. This is not
documenting the actual perf events -- which are documented in
perf_event.h -- but just the additional headers that perf record adds
around them when writing the data to disk.
