Subject: [PATCH V2 5/6] perf auxtrace: Add itrace d+o option to direct debug log to stdout

It can be useful to see debug output in between normal output.

Add 'o' to the flags of debug option 'd', so that '--itrace=d+o' can
specify output of the debug log to stdout.

 		a	all perf events
+		o	output to stdout
 
 	If supported, the 'q' option may be repeated to increase the effect.
