Subject: [PATCH 3/3] perf tools: Allow to list events via control file

Adding new control event to display all evlist events.

The interface string for control file is 'list'. When
received, perf will scan and print current evlist into
perf record terminal.

Example session:

  terminal 1:
    # mkfifo control ack perf.pipe
    # perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -D -1 --no-buffering -e 'sched:*' -o - > perf.pipe
    Events disabled

  terminal 2:
    # echo list > control

  terminal 1:
    # perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -D -1 --no-buffering -e 'sched:*' -o - > perf.pipe
    ...
    sched:sched_kthread_stop
    sched:sched_kthread_stop_ret
    sched:sched_waking
    sched:sched_wakeup
    sched:sched_wakeup_new
    sched:sched_switch
    sched:sched_migrate_task
    sched:sched_process_free
    sched:sched_process_exit
    sched:sched_wait_task
    sched:sched_process_wait
    sched:sched_process_fork
    sched:sched_process_exec
    sched:sched_stat_wait
    sched:sched_stat_sleep
    sched:sched_stat_iowait
    sched:sched_stat_blocked
    sched:sched_stat_runtime
    sched:sched_pi_setprio
    sched:sched_move_numa
    sched:sched_stick_numa
    sched:sched_swap_numa
    sched:sched_wake_idle_without_ipi
    dummy:HG

This new command is handy to get real event names when
wildcards are used.
