perf bench inject-buildid: Use zfree() to reduce chances of use after free

Do defensive programming by using zfree() to initialize freed pointers
to NULL, so that eventual use after free result in a NULL pointer deref
instead of more subtle behaviour.

perf tools: Move 'struct perf_sample' to a separate header file to disentangle headers

Some places were including event.h just to get 'struct perf_sample',
move it to a separate place so that we speed up a bit the build.

perf bench inject-buildid: Handle writen() errors

The build on fedora:35 and fedora:rawhide with clang is failing with:

49 41.00 fedora:35 : FAIL clang version 13.0.0 (Fedora 13.0.0~rc1-1.fc35)
bench/inject-buildid.c:351:6: error: variable 'len' set but not used [-Werror,-Wunused-but-set-variable]
u64 len = 0;
^
1 error generated.
make[3]: *** [/git/perf-5.14.0-rc7/tools/build/Makefile.build:139: bench] Error 2
50 41.11 fedora:rawhide : FAIL clang version 13.0.0 (Fedora 13.0.0~rc1-1.fc35)
bench/inject-buildid.c:351:6: error: variable 'len' set but not used [-Werror,-Wunused-but-set-variable]
u64 len = 0;
^
1 error generated.
make[3]: *** [/git/perf-5.14.0-rc7/tools/build/Makefile.build:139: bench] Error 2

That 'len' variable is not used at all, so just make sure all the
synthesize_RECORD() routines return ssize_t to propagate the writen()
return, as it may fail, ditch the 'ret' var and bail out if those
routines fail.

perf tools: Pass build_id object to filename__read_build_id()

Pass a build_id object to filename__read_build_id function, so it can
populate the size of the build_id object.

Changing filename__read_build_id() code for both ELF/non-ELF code.

perf tools: Use build_id object in dso

Replace build_id byte array with struct build_id object and all the code
that references it.

The objective is to carry size together with build id array, so it's
better to keep both together.

This is preparatory change for following patches, and there's no
functional change.

perf bench: Run inject-build-id with --buildid-all option too

For comparison, it now runs the benchmark twice - one if regular -b and
another for --buildid-all.

perf bench: Add build-id injection benchmark

Sometimes I can see that 'perf record' piped with 'perf inject' take a
long time processing build-ids.

So introduce a inject-build-id benchmark to the internals benchmark
suite to measure its overhead regularly.

It runs the 'perf inject' command internally and feeds the given number
of synthesized events (MMAP2 + SAMPLE basically).

Usage: perf bench internals inject-build-id <options>

-i, --iterations <n> Number of iterations used to compute average (default: 100)
-m, --nr-mmaps <n> Number of mmap events for each iteration (default: 100)
-n, --nr-samples <n> Number of sample events per mmap event (default: 100)
-v, --verbose be more verbose (show iteration count, DSO name, etc)

By default, it measures average processing time of 100 MMAP2 events
and 10000 SAMPLE events. Below is a result on my laptop.
