perf intel-pt: Add support for decoding FUP/TIP only

Use the new itrace 'q' option to add support for a mode of decoding that
ignores TNT, does not walk object code, but gets the ip from FUP and TIP
packets.

Example:

 $ perf record -e intel_pt//u grep -rI pudding drivers
 [ perf record: Woken up 52 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 57.870 MB perf.data ]
 $ time perf script --itrace=bi | wc -l
 58948289

 real    1m23.863s
 user    1m23.251s
 sys     0m7.452s
 $ time perf script --itrace=biq | wc -l
 3385694

 real    0m4.453s
 user    0m4.455s
 sys     0m0.328s

+The q option changes the way the trace is decoded.  The decoding is much faster
+but much less detailed.  Specifically, with the q option, the decoder does not
+decode TNT packets, and does not walk object code, but gets the ip from FUP and
+TIP packets.  The q option can be used with the b and i options but the period
+is not used.  The q option decodes more quickly, but is useful only if the
+control flow of interest is represented or indicated by FUP, TIP, TIP.PGE, or
+TIP.PGD packets (refer below).  However the q option could be used to find time
+ranges that could then be decoded fully using the --time option.
+
+What will *not* be decoded with the (single) q option:
+
+	- direct calls and jmps
+	- conditional branches
+	- non-branch instructions
+
+What *will* be decoded with the (single) q option:
+
+	- asynchronous branches such as interrupts
+	- indirect branches
+	- function return target address *if* the noretcomp config term (refer
+	config terms section) was used
+	- start of (control-flow) tracing
+	- end of (control-flow) tracing, if it is not out of context
+	- power events, ptwrite, transaction start and abort
+	- instruction pointer associated with PSB packets
+
+Note the q option does not specify what events will be synthesized e.g. the p
+option must be used also to show power events.
