Adrian Hunter 3812d29877 perf record: Add finished init event

In preparation for recording sideband events in a virtual machine guest so
that they can be injected into a host perf.data file.

This is needed to enable injecting events after the initial synthesized
user events (that have an all zero id sample) but before regular events.

Committer notes:

Add entry about PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_INIT to
tools/perf/Documentation/perf.data-file-format.txt.

Committer testing:

Before:

  # perf report -D | grep FINISHED
  0 0x5910 [0x8]: PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND
    FINISHED_ROUND events:          1  ( 0.5%)
  #

After:

  # perf record -- sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.020 MB perf.data (7 samples) ]
  # perf report -D | grep FINISHED
  0 0x5068 [0x8]: PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_INIT: unhandled!
  0 0x5390 [0x8]: PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND
    FINISHED_ROUND events:          1  ( 0.5%)
     FINISHED_INIT events:          1  ( 0.5%)
