perf bpf: Automatically create bpf-output event __bpf_stdout__

This patch removes the need to set a bpf-output event in cmdline.  By
referencing a map named '__bpf_stdout__', perf automatically creates an
event for it.

For example:

  # perf record -e ./test_bpf_trace.c usleep 100000
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.012 MB perf.data (2 samples) ]
  # perf script
           usleep  4639 [000] 261895.307826:        0            __bpf_stdout__:  ffffffff810eb9a1 ...
       BPF output: 0000: 52 61 69 73 65 20 61 20  Raise a
                   0008: 42 50 46 20 65 76 65 6e  BPF even
                   0010: 74 21 00 00              t!..
       BPF string: "Raise a BPF event!"

           usleep  4639 [000] 261895.407883:        0            __bpf_stdout__:  ffffffff8105d609 ...
       BPF output: 0000: 52 61 69 73 65 20 61 20  Raise a
                   0008: 42 50 46 20 65 76 65 6e  BPF even
                   0010: 74 21 00 00              t!..
       BPF string: "Raise a BPF event!"

  perf record -e ./test_bpf_trace.c usleep 100000

  equals to:

  perf record -e bpf-output/no-inherit=1,name=__bpf_stdout__/ \
              -e ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:__bpf_stdout__.event=__bpf_stdout__/ \
              usleep 100000
