Add support for selecting and processing PERF_RECORD_SWITCH events for use by Intel PT. If they are available, they will be used in preference to sched_switch events. This enables an unprivileged user to trace multi-threaded or multi-process workloads with any level of perf_event_paranoid. However it depends on kernel support for PERF_RECORD_SWITCH. Without this patch, tracing a multi-threaded workload will decode without error but all the data will be attributed to the main thread. Without this patch, tracing a multi-process workload will result in decoder errors because the decoder will not know which executable is executing.
