[PATCH 32/55] perf record: Add '--timestamp-filename' option to append timestamp to output filename

[Wang Nan]

This options append current timestamp to output. For example:

 # perf record -a --timestamp-filename
 ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2015122622265847 ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.742 MB perf.data (90 samples) ]
 # ls
 perf.data.201512262226584

After 'perf record' support generating multiple output files, timestamp
would be useful to identify each of them.
