perf script: Add support for PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT

Useful for getting stack traces for hardware breakpoint events.

Test result:

Before this patch:
 # ~/perf record -g -e mem:0x600980 ./sample
 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.011 MB perf.data (12 samples) ]

 # ~/perf script

 # ~/perf script -F comm,tid,pid,time,event,ip,sym,dso
 sample 22520/22520 97457.836294: mem:0x600980:

           21bd5 __libc_start_main (/tmp/oxygen_root-root/lib64/libc-2.18.so)
 ...

After this patch:
 # ~/perf script
 sample 22520 97457.836294: mem:0x600980:
                   5a4ad8 __clear_user (/lib/modules/4.3.0-rc4+/build/vmlinux)

             7f1b59719cf7 [unknown] ([unknown])

 sample 22520 97457.836648: mem:0x600980:
                      532 main (/home/w00229757/DataBreakpoints/sample)
                    21bd5 __libc_start_main (/tmp/oxygen_root-root/lib64/libc-2.18.so)

Committer note:

So, further testing, lets do it for a kernel global variable,
tcp_hashinfo:

  # grep -w tcp_hashinfo /proc/kallsyms
  ffffffff8202fc00 B tcp_hashinfo
  #

Note: allow specifying mem:tcp_hashinfo:

  # perf record -g -e mem:0xffffffff81c65ac0 -a
  ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.790 MB perf.data ]
  #
  # perf evlist
  mem:0xffffffff8202fc00
  # perf evlist -v
  mem:0xffffffff8202fc00: type: 5, size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|CPU, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, bp_type: 3, { bp_addr, config1 }: 0xffffffff8202fc00, { bp_len, config2 }: 0x4
  #
