perf record: Allow to limit number of reported perf.data files
When doing long term recording and waiting for some event to snapshot on, we often only care about the last minute or so. The --switch-output command line option supports rotating the perf.data file when the size exceeds a threshold. But the disk would still be filled with unnecessary old files. Add a new option to only keep a number of rotated files, so that the disk space usage can be limited.
