[Feature]Intel PT: Script Interface for applications

[XiongZhang]

Add a (python/perl) scripting interface for Intel Processor Trace to Linux perf tools. The interface should enable analysis of Intel PT traces, providing customizable filtering and selection of events and event statistics.
This feature is userspace only. It involves enhancements to the "perf tools" application.

Platform: BDW and later

upstream schedule: TBD
Target Release: 18.10
