Also report the counter id and the time running/enabled
stats (in case the counter got time-shared).

If "/sys/kernel/debug" is not a debugfs mount point, search for the debugfs
filesystem in /proc/mounts, but also allows the user to specify
'--debugfs-dir=blah' or set the environment variable: 'PERF_DEBUGFS_DIR'

Several people have suggested that 'perf' has become a full-fledged
tool that should be moved out of Documentation/. Move it to the
(new) tools/ directory.

Counter type is a frequently used value and we do a lot of
bit juggling by encoding and decoding it from attr->config.

Clean this up by creating a separate attr->type field.

Also clean up the various similarly complex user-space bits
all around counter attribute management.

The net improvement is significant, and it will be easier
to add a new major type (which is what triggered this cleanup).

(This changes the ABI, all tools are adapted.)
(PowerPC build-tested.)

Remove getopt usage and use Git's much more advanced and more compact
command option library.

Extend the event parser library with the extensions that were in
perf-stat before.

Extract the event string parser from builtin-record.c, and
librarize it - to be reused in other commands.
