perf record: Synthesize namespace events for current processes

Synthesize PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES events for processes that were running prior
to invocation of perf record. The data for this is taken from /proc/$PID/ns.
These changes make way for analyzing events with regard to namespaces.

Committer notes:

Check if 'tool' is NULL in perf_event__synthesize_namespaces(), as in the
test__mmap_thread_lookup case, i.e. 'perf test Lookup mmap thread".

Testing it:

  # ps axH > /tmp/allthreads
  # perf record -a --namespaces usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.169 MB perf.data (8 samples) ]
  # perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES | wc -l
  602
  # wc -l /tmp/allthreads
  601 /tmp/allthreads
  # tail /tmp/allthreads
