Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Provide additional sample information on generic events

Provide additional sample information on generic events
to Python scripts, including pid, tid, and cpu for which the event was
recorded. At the moment, the pointer to the sample struct is passed to
scripts, which seems to be of little use. The patch puts this information in
a dictionary for easy access by Python scripts.
