    perf tools: Add PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES to include namespaces related info · f3b3614a

    Introduce a new option to record PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES events emitted
    by the kernel when fork, clone, setns or unshare are invoked. And update
    perf-record documentation with the new option to record namespace
    events.
    
    Committer notes:
    
    Combined it with a later patch to allow printing it via 'perf report -D'
    and be able to test the feature introduced in this patch. Had to move
    here also perf_ns__name(), that was introduced in another later patch.
    
    Also used PRIu64 and PRIx64 to fix the build in some enfironments wrt:
    
      util/event.c:1129:39: error: format '%lx' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 6 has type 'long long unsigned int' [-Werror=format=]
         ret  += fprintf(fp, "%u/%s: %lu/0x%lx%s", idx
                                             ^
    Testing it:
    
      # perf record --namespaces -a
      ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
      [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.083 MB perf.data (423 samples) ]
      #
      # perf report -D
