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 directory format
+
+DISCLAIMER This is not ABI yet and is subject to possible change
+ in following versions of perf. We will remove this
+ disclaimer once the directory format soaks in.
+
+
+This document describes the on-disk perf.data directory format.
+
+The layout is described by HEADER_DIR_FORMAT feature.
+Currently it holds only version number (0):
+
+ HEADER_DIR_FORMAT = 24
+
+ struct {
+ uint64_t version;
+ }
+
+The current only version value 0 means that:
+ - there is a single perf.data file named 'data' within the directory.
+ e.g.
+
+ $ tree -ps perf.data
+ perf.data
+ └── [-rw------- 25912] data
+
+Future versions are expected to describe different data files
+layout according to special needs.
