[PATCH v1 3/4] perf tools: Add 'suppress_aux' attribute bit definition and fallback

[Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com>]

This adds support for suppress_aux, the switch that enables suppressing
not-so-useful PERF_RECORD_AUX records. Also handle kernels where it's
not supported.
