perf scripting perl: Add common_callchain to fix argument order

Since common_callchain has been added to the argument array, we need to
reflect it in perl-based scripts, because otherwise the following args
would be shifted and thus incorrect. E.g. rw-by-pid and calculation of
read and written bytes:

Before:

read counts by pid:
pid comm # reads bytes_requested bytes_read
------ -------------------- ----------- ---------- ----------
19301 dd 4 424510450039736 0

After:

read counts by pid:
pid comm # reads bytes_requested bytes_read
------ -------------------- ----------- ---------- ----------
19301 dd 4 9536 4341

Committer testing:

To see before after first do:

# perf script record rw-by-pid
^C

Now you'll have a perf.data file to report on, then do before and after
using:

# perf script report rw-by-pid

Anbd notice the bytes_request/bytes_read, as above.

perf script: Finish the rename from trace to script

The scripts have calls to 'perf trace' that need to be converted to 'perf script', do it.

This problem was introduced in 133dc4c.

perf trace: Add interface to access perf data from Perl handlers

The Perl scripting support for perf trace allows most of a trace
event's data to be accessed directly as handler arguments, but
not all of it e.g. the less common fields aren't passed in. To
give scripts access to the other fields and/or any other data or
metadata in the main perf executable that might be useful, a way
to access the C data in perf from Perl is needed; this patch
uses the Perl XS facility to do it for the common_xxx event
fields not passed to handler functions.

Context.pm exports three functions to Perl scripts that access
fields for the current event by calling back into perf:
common_pc(), common_flags() and common_lock_depth(). Support
for common_flags() field values was added to Core.pm and a
script used to sanity check these and other basic scripting
features, check-perf-trace.pl, was also added.
