perf tool: Add PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample read support

hi,
adding support to read sample values through the PERF_SAMPLE_READ
sample type. It's now possible to specify 'S' modifier for an event
and get its sample value by PERF_SAMPLE_READ.

For group the 'S' modifier will enable sampling only for the leader
and read all the group member by PERF_SAMPLE_READ smple type with
PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read format.

This was first introduced in here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/20/75

Example:

  $ perf record -e '{cycles,cache-misses}:S' ls
  ...
  $ perf report --group --show-total-period --stdio
  ...
  # Samples: 36  of event 'anon group { cycles, cache-misses }'
  # Event count (approx.): 12585593
  #
  #         Overhead                    Period  Command      Shared Object                      Symbol
  # ................  ........................  .......  .................  ..........................
  #
      19.92%   1.20%       2505936          31       ls  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] mark_held_locks
      13.74%   0.47%       1729327          12       ls  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] sched_clock_local
      13.64%  23.72%       1716147         612       ls  ld-2.14.90.so      [.] check_match.10805
      13.12%  23.22%       1650778         599       ls  libc-2.14.90.so    [.] _nl_intern_locale_data
      11.24%  29.19%       1414554         753       ls  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] sched_clock_cpu
       8.50%   0.35%       1070150           9       ls  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] check_chain_key
  ...


The patchset is based on following fix:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2013/2/4/122

and is available also at:

TODO: add column names as suggested by Ingo in the original discussion.

thanks,
