When perf_data__create_dir() fails, it calls close_dir(), but
perf_session__delete() also calls close_dir() and since dir.version and
dir.nr were initialized by perf_data__create_dir(), a double free occurs.

This patch moves the initialization of dir.version and dir.nr after
successful initialization of dir.files, that prevents double freeing.
This behavior is already implemented in perf_data__open_dir().

In preparation for that, add the ability to modify the input file in place.
In practice that just means making the file descriptor and mmaps writable.

perf data: Allow to use stdio functions for pipe mode

When perf data is in a pipe, it reads each event separately using
read(2) syscall. This is a huge performance bottleneck when
processing large data like in perf inject. Also perf inject needs to
use write(2) syscall for the output.

So convert it to use buffer I/O functions in stdio library for pipe
data. This makes inject-build-id bench time drops from 20ms to 8ms.

perf record: Put a copy of kcore into the perf.data directory

Add a new 'perf record' option '--kcore' which will put a copy of
/proc/kcore, kallsyms and modules into a perf.data directory. Note, that
without the --kcore option, output goes to a file as previously. The
tools' -o and -i options work with either a file name or directory name.

Example:

$ sudo perf record --kcore uname

$ sudo tree perf.data
perf.data
├── kcore_dir
│   ├── kallsyms
│   ├── kcore
│   └── modules
└── data

perf data: Support single perf.data file directory

Support directory output that contains a regular perf.data file, named
"data". By default the directory is named perf.data i.e.
perf.data
└── data

Most of the infrastructure to support a directory is already there. This
patch makes the changes needed to support the format above.

Presently there is no 'perf record' option to output a directory.

This is preparation for adding support for putting a copy of /proc/kcore in
the directory.

perf data: Rename directory "header" file to "data"

In preparation to support a single file directory format, rename "header"
to "data" because "header" is a mis-leading name when there is only 1 file.
Note, in the multi-file case, the "header" file also contains data.
