perf_counter: optionally provide the pid/tid of the sampled task

Allow cpu wide counters to profile userspace by providing what process
the sample belongs to.

This raises the first issue with the output type, lots of these
options: group, tid, callchain, etc.. are non-exclusive and could be
combined, suggesting a bitfield.

However, things like the mmap() data stream doesn't fit in that.

How to split the type field...
