Subject: [PATCH v6 05/20] perf record: Start threads in the beginning of trace streaming

Start thread in detached state because its management is implemented
via messaging to avoid any scaling issues. Block signals prior thread
start so only main tool thread would be notified on external async
signals during data collection. Thread affinity mask is used to assign
eligible cpus for the thread to run. Wait and sync on thread start using
thread ack pipe.
