perf data: Support converting data from bpf_perf_event_output()

bpf_perf_event_output() outputs data through sample->raw_data. This
patch adds support to convert those data into CTF. A python script then
can be used to process output data from BPF programs.

Test result:

Committer note:

Make sure you have python3-devel installed, not python-devel, which may
be for python2, which will lead to some "PyInstance_Type" errors. Also
make sure that you use the right libbabeltrace, because it is shipped
in Fedora, for instance, but an older version.

To build libbabeltrace's python binding one also needs to use:

 ./configure --enable-python-bindings

And then set PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/.
