Subject: [RFC][PATCH v1] perf stat: FD based pause/resume for counting mode

Hi,

Here is FD based concept for perf stat pause/resume functionality.

The patch implements asynchronous pause/resume commands for configured counters
thru file descriptors passed over new cmd-fd, cmd-ack-fd options.

The commands are sent over cmd-fd option. File descriptor passed thru cmd-ack-fd 
option is employed for confirmation on command completion.

Handling of signals and the timer for processing intervals is also 
implemented thru file descriptors.

Thus all sources of async events are switched to file descriptors and 
multiplexed at the single place using poll system call.

initial_delay option is changed to signed int and negative values (-1) mean to
start paused so that switching state would be controlled thru cmd-fd, cmd-ack-fd
file descriptors.

I tested that as for launch mode when perf tool starts a workload as for attach 
mode thru -p option. See attached logs and straces for more details.

Attached pause_test.cpp demonstrates one of the usage models for 
this functionality.

 Sources of async events: enum perf_async_event
 
 Pause/resume protocol (perf_async_cmd_done is sent back on the completion):
	enum perf_async_cmd
	
 Global state specific to this change: struct perf_async
 
 Initialization: int perf_async_init(const int interval)

 Finalization: int perf_async_fini(void)
 
 poll() loop calling handlers below:
	int perf_async_handle_events(void *param)
  
 For signals:
	int perf_async_signal_handler(union perf_async_data *data, void *param)
 
 For timer intervals:
	int perf_async_timer_handler(union perf_async_data *data, void *param)
 
 For pause/resume commands:
	int perf_async_cmd_handler(union perf_async_data *data, void *param)
