[PATCH v1 21/49] perf python: Port event_analyzing_sample to perf module

[Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>]

Port event_analyzing_sample.py to a standalone script in
tools/perf/python/ using the perf module and standard library sqlite3
module.

Improvements compared to the legacy script:
- Encapsulate database state in a _DB container instead of mutating
  module-level globals, and ensure temporary SQLite database files are
  cleaned up on exit.
- Add argparse CLI options (-i/--input and -d/--db) while preserving
  PerfEvent, PebsEvent, and PebsNHM binary raw_buf unpacking and
  symbol/DSO histogram reporting.
- Remove Python 2 compatibility code and add type annotations.

Add a shell test (test_event_analyzing_sample_python.sh) to verify the
standalone script.

+General event handler in Python, using SQLite to analyze events.
+
+The 2 database related functions in this script just show how to gather
+the basic information, and users can modify and write their own functions
+according to their specific requirement.
+
+The first function "show_general_events" just does a basic grouping for all
+generic events with the help of sqlite, and the 2nd one "show_pebs_ll" is
+for a x86 HW PMU event: PEBS with load latency data.
