[PATCH 1/8] perf tools: Fix type for evsel->ids and add size check for ids

[Robert Richter]

Use same type for ids everywhere.

In case of writing to perf.data the size is u32. In pipe mode it is
limited to header.size (less than u16). Adding a size check here.

Size overflow due to casting shouldn't actually happen in practice,
but during development this may cause type missmatch warninngs/errors,
unifying types avoids this.
