[PATCH v9 1/3]: perf util: map data buffer for preserving collected data

[Alexey Budankov]

The map->data buffer is used to preserve map->base profiling data 
for writing to disk. AIO map->cblock is used to queue corresponding 
map->data buffer for asynchronous writing.

Changes in v9:
  - implemented NO_AIO and HAVE_AIO_SUPPORT defines to cover cases of 
    libc implementations without Posix AIO API support
Changes in v7:
  - implemented handling record.aio setting from perfconfig file
 Changes in v6:
  - adjusted setting of priorities for cblocks;
 Changes in v5:
  - reshaped layout of data structures;
  - implemented --aio option;
 Changes in v4:
  - converted mmap()/munmap() to malloc()/free() for mmap->data buffer management 
 Changes in v2:
  - converted zalloc() to calloc() for allocation of mmap_aio array,
  - cleared typo and adjusted fallback branch code;
