perf tools: Add PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES to include namespaces related info

Introduce a new option to record PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES events emitted
by the kernel when fork, clone, setns or unshare are invoked. And update
perf-record documentation with the new option to record namespace
events.

Committer notes:

Combined it with a later patch to allow printing it via 'perf report -D'
and be able to test the feature introduced in this patch. Had to move
here also perf_ns__name(), that was introduced in another later patch.

Also used PRIu64 and PRIx64 to fix the build in some enfironments wrt:

util/event.c:1129:39: error: format '%lx' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 6 has type 'long long unsigned int' [-Werror=format=]
ret += fprintf(fp, "%u/%s: %lu/0x%lx%s", idx
^
Testing it:

# perf record --namespaces -a
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.083 MB perf.data (423 samples) ]
#
# perf report -D
