[PATCH v8 00/20] Trace file version 7 - compression

["Tzvetomir Stoyanov (VMware)" <tz.stoyanov@gmail.com>]

Introduced compression of the metadata and trace data in trace files version
7. The compression is optional and disabled by default. A new parameter of
"trace-cmd record" is introduced, which can be used to configure the trace
file compression:
 --compression < none / any / name of the desired algorithm >

v8 changes:
 - Bug fixes.
 - Code cleanups.
 - Rebase.
v7 changes:
 - Bug fixes.
 - Code cleanups.
 - Rebase.
v6 changes:
 - Rebased on top of the latest master.
 - Introduced new metadata strings section.
 - Use 8 bytes for section size.
v5 changes:
 - Rebased on top of the latest master.
v4 changes:
 - Rebased on top of the latest master.
v3 changes:
 - Rebased on top of the latest master.
v2 changes:
 - fixed issues of split and convert commands with some corner cases
