perf tools: Add feature header record to pipe-mode

Add header record types to pipe-mode, reusing the functions
used in file-mode and leveraging the new struct feat_fd.

For alignment, check that synthesized events don't exceed
pagesize.

Add the perf_event__synthesize_feature event call back to
process the new header records.

Before this patch:

  $ perf record -o - -e cycles sleep 1 | perf report --stdio --header
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]
  ...

After this patch:
  $ perf record -o - -e cycles sleep 1 | perf report --stdio --header

Support added for the subcommands: report, inject, annotate and script.
