Add kernel AUX area sampling definitions, which brings perf_event.h into
line with the kernel version.
New sample type PERF_SAMPLE_AUX requests a sample of the AUX area
buffer. New perf_event_attr member 'aux_sample_size' specifies the
desired size of the sample.
Also add support for parsing samples containing AUX area data i.e.
PERF_SAMPLE_AUX.
Committer notes:
I squashed the first two patches in this series to avoid breaking
automatic bisection, i.e. after applying only the original first patch
in this series we would have:
# perf test -v parsing
26: Sample parsing :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 17018
sample format has changed, some new PERF_SAMPLE_ bit was introduced - test needs updating
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Sample parsing: FAILED!
#
With the two paches combined:
# perf test parsing
26: Sample parsing : Ok

We already had evsel_fprintf.c, add its counterpart, so that we can
reduce evsel.h a bit more.
We needed a new perf_event_attr_fprintf.c file so as to have a separate
object to link with the python binding in tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources
and not drag symbol_conf, etc into the python binding.
