Subject: [PATCH v2] perf python: Set error messages on call failure

Updates the perf python binding to provide more informative error
messages to the user when there is a call failure. The changes include
setting error messages on several different scenarios when the package
needs to return -1 or NULL.

Resolves the FIXME in evsel__init, which previously raises segmentation
fault on failure. Now it could end more gracefully.

The shell tests provided also includes the import test, previously
written in c (https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=135911158512404). In
order to run the test, python3 and setting PYTHONPATH (to include the
perf python package) is needed.
