perf scripts python intel-pt-events: Delete unused 'event_attr variable

The 'event_attr' is never used later, the var is ok be deleted.

Additional code simplification is to substitute string slice comparison
with "substring" function. This case no need to know the length specific
words.

perf scripts intel-pt-events.py: Fix IPC output for Python 2

Integers are not converted to floats during division in Python 2 which
results in incorrect IPC values. Fix by switching to new division
behavior.

perf scripts python: intel-pt-events.py: Add ability interleave output

Intel PT timestamps are not provided for every branch, let alone every
instruction, so there can be many samples with the same timestamp. With
per-cpu contexts, decoding is done for each CPU in turn, which can make it
difficult to see what is happening on different CPUs at the same time.
Currently the interleaving from perf script --itrace=i0ns is quite coarse
grained. There are often long stretches executing on one CPU and nothing on
another.

Some people are interested in seeing what happened on multiple CPUs before
a crash to debug races etc.

To improve perf script interleaving for parallel execution, the
intel-pt-events.py script has been enhanced to enable interleaving the
output with the same timestamp from different CPUs. It is understood that
interleaving is not perfect or causal.

Add parameter --interleave [<n>] to interleave sample output for the same
timestamp so that no more than n samples for a CPU are displayed in a row.
'n' defaults to 4. Note this only affects the order of output, and only
when the timestamp is the same.

Example:

$ perf script intel-pt-events.py --insn-trace --interleave 3

perf scripts python: intel-pt-events.py: Print ptwrite value as a string if it is ASCII

It can be convenient to put a string value into a ptwrite payload as
a quick and easy way to identify what is being printed.

To make that useful, if the Intel ptwrite payload value contains only
printable ASCII characters padded with NULLs, then print it also as a
string.

Using the example program from the "Emulated PTWRITE" section of
tools/perf/Documentation/perf-intel-pt.txt:

$ echo -n "Hello" | od -t x8
0000000 0000006f6c6c6548
0000005
$ perf record -e intel_pt//u ./eg_ptw 0x0000006f6c6c6548

perf scripts python: intel-pt-events.py: Fix printing of switch events

The intel-pt-events.py script displays only the last of consecutive switch
statements but that may not be the last switch event for the CPU. Fix by
keeping a dictionary of last context switch keyed by CPU, and make it
possible to see all switch events by adding option --all-switch-events.

Support both Python2 and Python3 in the intel-pt-events.py script

There may be differences in the ordering of output lines due to
differences in dictionary ordering etc. However the format within lines
should be unchanged.

The use of 'from __future__' implies the minimum supported Python2 version
is now v2.6
