perf scripts: Fallback to syscalls:* when raw_syscalls:* is not available

Older kernels (e.g., RHEL6) do system call tracing via the
syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} tracepoints rather than using raw_syscalls:*.

Update perf python and perl scripts to fallback to syscalls:* when
raw_syscalls:* isn't available.

perf trace/scripting: Enable scripting shell scripts for live mode

It should be possible to run any perf trace script in 'live
mode'. This requires being able to pass in e.g. '-i -' or other
args, which the current shell scripts aren't equipped to handle.
In a few cases, there are required or optional args that also
need special handling. This patch makes changes the current set
of shell scripts as necessary.

perf/scripts: Add syscall tracing scripts

Adds a set of scripts that aggregate system call totals and system
call errors. Most are Python scripts that also test basic
functionality of the new Python engine, but there's also one Perl
script added for comparison and for reference in some new
Documentation contained in a later patch.
