[PATCH 06/15] perf record: Add support for AUX area sampling

[Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>]

Add a 'perf record' option '--aux-sample' to request AUX area sampling. AUX
area sampling uses an overwriting buffer much like snapshot mode, so adjust
the AUX buffer mmapping accordingly. To make it easy to queue samples for
decoding, synthesize an ID index.
