Depending on the use case, it might require some kind of synthesize
and some not.  Make it controllable to turn off heavy operations like
MMAP for all tasks.

Currently all users are converted to enable all the synthesis by
default.  It'll be updated in the later patch.

Add an option to control synthesize behavior.

    --synth <no|all|task|mmap|cgroup>
                      Fine-tune event synthesis: default=all

This can be useful when we know it doesn't need some synthesis like
in a specific usecase and/or when using pipe:

  $ perf record -a --all-cgroups --synth cgroup -o- sleep 1 | \
  > perf report -i- -s cgroup
