perf scripts python: Add event_analyzing_sample.py as a sample for general event handling

Currently only trace point events are supported in perf/python script,
the first 3 patches of this serie add the support for all types of
events. This script is just a simple sample to show how to gather the
basic information of the events and analyze them.

This script will create one object for each event sample and insert them
into a table in a database, then leverage the simple SQL commands to
sort/group them. User can modify or write their brand new functions
according to their specific requirment.

Here is the sample of how to use the script:

 $ perf record -a tree
 $ perf script -s process_event.py

There is 100 records in gen_events table
Statistics about the general events grouped by thread/symbol/dso:

+# Current perf report is alreay very powerful with the anotation integrated,

+#
+# The 2 database related functions in this script just show how to gather
+# the basic information, and users can modify and write their own functions
+# according to their specific requirment.

+# The first sample "show_general_events" just does a baisc grouping for all
+# generic events with the help of sqlite, and the 2nd one "show_pebs_ll" is
+# for a x86 HW PMU event: PEBS with load latency data.
