Subject: [PATCH 7/7] perf inject: Remove stale build-id processing

I think we don't need to call build_id__mark_dso_hit() in the
perf_event__repipe_sample() as it's not used by -b option.  In case of
the -b option is used, it uses perf_event__inject_buildid() instead.
This can remove unnecessary overhead of finding thread/map for each
sample event.

Also I suspect HEADER_BUILD_ID feature bit setting since we already
generated/injected BUILD_ID event into the output stream.  So this
header information seems redundant.  I'm not 100% sure about the
auxtrace usage, but it looks like not related to this directly.

And we now have --buildid-all so users can get the same behavior if
they want.
