perf ftrace: Introduce new 'ftrace' tool

The 'perf ftrace' command is a simple wrapper of kernel's ftrace
functionality.  It only supports single thread tracing currently and
just reads trace_pipe in text and then write it to stdout.

Committer notes:

Testing it:

  # perf ftrace -f function_graph usleep 123456
