perf tools: Add 'ping' control command
Add a control 'ping' command to detect if perf is up and its control
interface is operational.
It will be used in following daemon patches to synchronize with record
session - when control interface is up and running, we know that perf
record is monitoring and ready to receive signals.
Example session:
terminal 1:
# mkfifo control ack
# perf record --control=fifo:control,ack
terminal 2:
# echo ping > control
# cat ack
ack
