[PATCH V9 3/6] perf, record: introduce --freq-perf option

[kan.liang@intel.com]

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com>

To generate the frequency and performance output, perf must sample read
special events like cycles, ref-cycles, msr/tsc/, msr/aperf/ or
msr/mperf/.
With the --freq-perf option, perf record can automatically check and add
those event into evlist for sampling read.
