perf python: Use exception to propagate errors

We were using pr_debug to tell the user about not being able to parse a sample
where we should really use the python way of reporting errors: exceptions.

Fixes this problem:

[root@emilia ~]# python
>>> import perf
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /home/acme/git/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: eprintf
>>>
[root@emilia ~]

As we want to keep the objects linked in the python binding (and in the future
in a shared library) minimal.
