Data file related processing.

perf data: Add perf data to CTF conversion support
Adding 'perf data convert' to convert perf data file into different
format. This patch adds support for CTF format conversion.
To convert perf.data into CTF run:
$ perf data convert --to-ctf=./ctf-data/
[ perf data convert: Converted 'perf.data' into CTF data './ctf-data/' ]
[ perf data convert: Converted and wrote 11.268 MB (100230 samples) ]
The command will create CTF metadata out of perf.data file (or one
specified via -i option) and then convert all sample events into single
CTF stream.
Each sample_type bit is translated into separated CTF event field apart
from following exceptions:
PERF_SAMPLE_RAW - added in next patch
PERF_SAMPLE_READ - TODO
PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN - TODO
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK - TODO
PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER - TODO
PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER - TODO
$ perf --debug=data-convert=2 data convert ...
The converted CTF data could be analyzed by CTF tools, like babletrace
or tracecompass [1].
$ babeltrace ./ctf-data/

The following members to the ctf-environment were decided to be added to
distinguish and specify perf CTF data:
- domain
It says "kernel" because it contains a kernel trace (not to be
confused with a user space like lttng-ust does)
- tracer_name
It says perf. This can be used to distinguish between lttng and perf
CTF based trace.
- version
The kernel version from stream. In addition to release, this is what
it looks like on a Debian kernel:
release = "3.14-1-amd64";
version = "3.14.0";

perf data: Add JSON export
This adds a feature to export perf data to JSON.
The resolved symbols are exported into the JSON so that external tools
don't need to load the dsos themselves (or even have access to them at
all.) This makes it easy to load and analyze perf data with standalone
tools where direct perf or libbabeltrace integration is impractical.
The exporter uses a minimal inline JSON encoding without any external
dependencies. Currently it only outputs some headers and sample metadata
but it's easily extensible.
Use it like this:
$ perf data convert --to-json out.json
Committer notes:
Fixup a __printf() bug that broke the build:
util/data-convert-json.c:103:11: error: expected ‘)’ before numeric constant

124 | output_json_key_format(out, false, 5, "ip", "\"0x%" PRIx64 "\"", ip);

Also had to add this patch to fix errors reported by various versions of
clang:
- if (al && al->sym && al->sym->name && strlen(al->sym->name) > 0) {
+ if (al && al->sym && al->sym->namelen) {
al->sym->name is a zero sized array, to avoid one extra alloc in the
symbol__new() constructor, sym->namelen carries its strlen.

It says perf. This can be used to distinguish between lttng and perf
CTF based trace.
- version
