perf record: Add --synth option



Add an option to control the synthesizing behavior.

    --synth <no|all|task|mmap|cgroup>
                      Fine-tune event synthesis: default=all

This can be useful when we know it doesn't need some synthesis like
in a specific usecase and/or when using pipe:

  $ perf record -a --all-cgroups --synth cgroup -o- sleep 1 | \
  > perf report -i- -s cgroup

Committer notes:

Added a clarification to the man page entry for --synth that this is
about pre-existing threads.
