Subject: [PATCH v2 5/6] perf header: Add e_machine/e_flags to the header

Add 64-bits of feature data to record the ELF machine and flags. This
allows readers to initialize based on the data. For example, `perf kvm
stat` wants to initialize based on the kind of data to be read, but at
initialization time there are no threads to base this data upon and
using the host means cross platform support won't work. The values in
the perf_env also act as a cache for these within the session.
