[RFC][PATCH 4/9] perf trace: Add trace scripting ops

[Tom Zanussi]

Support any number of scripting languages for trace stream processing
by adding a set of functions, trace_scripting_operations, that can be
implemented to support a given language.

- start_script() - initialize e.g. create and initialize the interpreter
- stop_script() - clean up e.g. destroy the interpreter
- process_event() - send each event and its data to the interpreter

Support for a given language should also modify setup_scripting() to
replace the do-nothing default_scripting_ops with the
language-specific scripting ops for that language.
