perf script: Set up output options for in-stream attributes



Attributes (struct perf_event_attr) are recorded separately in the
perf.data file.  perf script uses them to set up output options.
However attributes can also be in the event stream, for example when the
input is a pipe (i.e. live mode).  This patch makes perf script process
in-stream attributes in the same way as on-file attributes.

Here is an example:

Before this patch:

$ perf record uname | perf script
Linux
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.015 MB (null) (~655 samples) ]
:4220  4220 [-01] 2933367.838906: cycles:

:4220  4220 [-01] 2933367.838910: cycles:

:4220  4220 [-01] 2933367.838912: cycles:

:4220  4220 [-01] 2933367.838914: cycles:

:4220  4220 [-01] 2933367.838916: cycles:

:4220  4220 [-01] 2933367.838918: cycles:

uname  4220 [-01] 2933367.838938: cycles:

uname  4220 [-01] 2933367.839207: cycles:

After this patch:

$ perf record uname | perf script
Linux
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
