[PATCH 50/55] perf tools: Add API to pause a channel

[Wang Nan]

perf_evlist__channel_toggle_paused() is introduced to pause/resume a
channel in an evlist. Utilize PERF_EVENT_IOC_PAUSE_OUTPUT ioctl.
Following commits use perf_evlist__channel_toggle_paused() to ensure
overwrite ring buffer is turned off before reading.
