Subject: [PATCH v6 13/13] perf record: introduce --ctl-fd[-ack] options


Introduce --ctl-fd[-ack] options to pass open file descriptors numbers
from command line. Extend perf-record.txt file with --ctl-fd[-ack]
options description. Document possible usage model introduced by
--ctl-fd[-ack] options by providing example bash shell script.
