perf trace: Add Perl scripting support

Implement trace_scripting_ops to make Perl a supported perf
trace scripting language.

Additionally adds code that allows Perl trace scripts to access
the 'flag' and 'symbolic' (__print_flags(), __print_symbolic())
field information parsed from the trace format files.

Also adds the Perl implementation of the generate_script()
trace_scripting_op, which creates a ready-to-run perf trace Perl
script based on existing trace data.  Scripts generated by this
implementation print out all the fields for each event mentioned
in perf.data (and will detect and generate the proper scripting
code for 'flag' and 'symbolic' fields), and will additionally
generate handlers for the special 'trace_unhandled',
'trace_begin' and 'trace_end' handlers.  Script authors can
simply remove the printing code to implement their own custom
event handling.
