perf scripts python: Add a script to run instances of 'perf script' in parallel

Add a Python script to run a perf script command multiple times in
parallel, using perf script options --cpu and --time so that each job
processes a different chunk of the data.

Extend perf script tests to test also the new script.

The script supports the use of normal 'perf script' options like
--dlfilter and --script, so that the benefit of running parallel jobs
naturally extends to them also. In addition, a command can be provided
(refer --pipe-to option) to pipe standard output to a custom command.

Refer to the script's own help text at the end of the patch for more
details.

The script is useful for Intel PT traces, that can be efficiently
decoded by 'perf script' when split by CPU and/or time ranges. Running
jobs in parallel can decrease the overall decoding time.

Committer testing:

  Ian reported that shellcheck found some issues, I installed it as there
  are no warnings about it not being available, but when available it
  fails the build with:

Did these fixes:

+
+Any perf script command can be used, including the use of perf script options
+--dlfilter and --script, so that the benefit of running parallel jobs
+naturally extends to them also.
+
+If option --pipe-to is used, standard output is first piped through that
+command. Beware, if the command fails (e.g. grep with no matches), it will be
+considered a fatal error.
+
+Final standard output is redirected to files named out.txt in separate
+subdirectories under the output directory. Similarly, standard error is
+written to files named err.txt. In addition, files named cmd.txt contain the
+corresponding perf script command. After processing, err.txt files are removed
+if they are empty.
+
+If any job exits with a non-zero exit code, then all jobs are killed and no
+more are started. A message is printed if any job results in a non-empty
+err.txt file.
+
+There is a separate output subdirectory for each time range. If the --per-cpu
+option is used, these are further grouped under cpu-n subdirectories, e.g.
+
+	$ parallel-perf.py --per-cpu --nr=2 -- perf script --ns --cpu=0,1

+
+Subdivisions of time range, and cpus if the --per-cpu option is used, are
+expressed by the --time and --cpu perf script options respectively. If the
+supplied perf script command has a --time option, then that time range is
+subdivided, otherwise the time range given by 'time of first sample' to
+'time of last sample' is used (refer perf script --header-only). Similarly, the
+supplied perf script command may provide a --cpu option, and only those CPUs
+will be processed.
+
+To prevent time intervals becoming too small, the --min-interval option can
+be used.
+
+Note there is special handling for processing Intel PT traces. If an interval is
+not specified and the perf record command contained the intel_pt event, then the
+time range will be subdivided in order to produce subdivisions that contain
+approximately the same amount of trace data. That is accomplished by counting
+double-quick (--itrace=qqi) samples, and choosing time ranges that encompass
+approximately the same number of samples. In that case, time ranges may not be
+the same for each CPU processed. For Intel PT, --per-cpu is the default, but
+that can be overridden by --no-per-cpu. Note, for Intel PT, double-quick
+decoding produces 1 sample for each PSB synchronization packet, which in turn
+come after a certain number of bytes output, determined by psb_period (refer
+perf Intel PT documentation). The minimum number of double-quick samples that
+will define a time range can be set by the --min_size option, which defaults to
+64.
