[PATCH 1/2] perf session: Add ability to 'skip' a non-piped event stream

[Adrian Hunter]

A piped event stream may contain arbitary sized tracepoint
information following a PERF_RECORD_HEADER_TRACING_DATA
event.  The position in the stream has to be 'skipped'
to match the start of the next event.

Provide the same ability to a non-piped event stream
to allow for Instruction Trace data that may also be
in a non-piped event stream.
