[PATCH v3 0/2] perf timechart: Add --live mode to the TUI and test

[Ian Rogers]

Add a '--live' option to 'perf timechart' and 'ttimechart.py' that streams
live scheduler, power, or I/O (-I/--io-only) events from a 'perf record'
subprocess over a pipe and displays them in the Textual TUI with a rolling
time window (--window, default 10s), pause/resume via the control pipe, an
optional workload after '--', and optional output recording (-o), along
with headless shell tests in test_ttimechart_python.sh.

v3: Address Sashiko review feedback:
    - Patch 1: Explicitly include <string.h> in builtin-timechart.c.
    - Patch 1: Reject non-finite --window values (e.g. 'inf') that
      overflowed converting to nanoseconds.
    - Patch 2: Stop the fake recorder in a try/finally in the synthetic
      live UI test so a failed check can't leave its background thread
      running and hang the test.
    Rebase onto the latest perf-tools-next.
    v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/20261014042249.2379829-1-irogers@xxxxxxxxxx/

v2: Rebase the remaining 2 patches onto perf-tools-next after patches 1-11
    of v1 were merged.
