[PATCH V15 4/7] perf tools: Add missing_features for aux_start_paused, aux_pause, aux_resume

[Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>]

Display "feature is not supported" error message if aux_start_paused,
aux_pause or aux_resume result in a perf_event_open() error.

Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>
---


Changes in V15:
	Re-base on new API probe method of missing feature detection
	and add probe for aux_action.

Changes in V13:
	Add error message also in EOPNOTSUPP case (Leo)
