perf record: Add finished init event



In preparation for recording sideband events in a virtual machine guest so
that they can be injected into a host perf.data file.

This is needed to enable injecting events after the initial synthesized
user events (that have an all zero id sample) but before regular events.

Committer notes:

Add entry about PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_INIT to
tools/perf/Documentation/perf.data-file-format.txt.

Committer testing:

Before:

  # perf report -D | grep FINISHED
  0 0x5910 [0x8]: PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND
    FINISHED_ROUND events:          1  ( 0.5%)
  #

After:

  # perf record -- sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.020 MB perf.data (7 samples) ]
  # perf report -D | grep FINISHED
  0 0x5068 [0x8]: PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_INIT: unhandled!
  0 0x5390 [0x8]: PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND
    FINISHED_ROUND events:          1  ( 0.5%)
     FINISHED_INIT events:          1  ( 0.5%)

Marks the end of records for the system, pre-existing threads in system wide
sessions, etc. Those are the ones prefixed PERF_RECORD_USER_*.

This is used, for instance, to 'perf inject' events after init and before
regular events, those emitted by the kernel, to support combining guest and
host records.


The header is followed by compressed data frame that can be decompressed
into array of perf trace records. The size of the entire compressed event
record including the header is limited by the max value of header.size.
