perf: Add pipe-specific header read/write and event processing code



This patch makes several changes to allow the perf event stream
to be sent and received over a pipe:

- adds pipe-specific versions of the header read/write code

- adds pipe-specific version of the event processing code

- adds a range of event types to be used for header or other
  pseudo events, above the range used by the kernel

- checks the return value of event handlers, which they can use
  to skip over large events during event processing rather than actually
  reading them into event objects.

- unifies the multiple do_read() functions and updates its
  users.

Note that none of these changes affect the existing perf data
file format or processing - this code only comes into play if
perf output is sent to stdout (or is read from stdin).
