Subject: [PATCH v2 6/7] perf ctf: Add '--all' option for 'perf data convert'

After this patch, 'perf data convert' convert comm events to output
CTF stream.

Result:

 # perf record -a sleep 1
 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.378 MB perf.data (73 samples)  ]

 # perf data convert --to-ctf ./out.ctf
 [ perf data convert: Converted 'perf.data' into CTF data './out.ctf' ]
 [ perf data convert: Converted and wrote 0.003 MB (73 samples) ]

 # babeltrace --clock-seconds ./out.ctf/
 [10627.402515791] (+?.?????????) cycles:ppp: { cpu_id = 0 }, { perf_ip = 0xFFFFFFFF81065AF4, perf_tid = 0, perf_pid = 0, perf_period = 1 }
 [10627.402518972] (+0.000003181) cycles:ppp: { cpu_id = 0 }, { perf_ip = 0xFFFFFFFF81065AF4, perf_tid = 0, perf_pid = 0, perf_period = 1 }
 ...    // only sample event is converted

 # perf data convert --all --to-ctf ./out.ctf
 [ perf data convert: Converted 'perf.data' into CTF data './out.ctf' ]
 [ perf data convert: Converted and wrote 0.023 MB (73 samples, 384 non-samples) ]

 # babeltrace --clock-seconds ./out.ctf/

 [  0.000000000] (+0.000000000) perf_comm: { cpu_id = 0 }, { pid = 3, tid = 3, comm = "ksoftirqd/0" }
