[PATCH V7 08/12] perf tools: Parse aux-action

[Adrian Hunter]

Add parsing for aux-action to accept "pause", "resume" or "start-paused"
values.

"start-paused" is valid only for AUX area events.

"pause" and "resume" are valid only for events grouped with an AUX area
event as the group leader.  However, like with aux-output, the events
will be automatically grouped if they are not currently in a group, and
the AUX area event precedes the other events.
