[RFC PATCH 4/4] perf data: Add --to-trace-dat option for converting perf.data tracepoint events into trace.dat format

[Tanushree Shah <tshah@linux.ibm.com>]

Add new command-line option to perf data convert for generating
trace.dat output files.

The --to-trace-dat option:
- Accepts output filename for trace.dat format
- Mutually exclusive with --to-ctf and --to-json
- Calls trace_convert__perf2dat() to perform conversion

Usage:
  $ perf record -e sched:* -a sleep 1
  $ perf data convert --to-trace-dat=trace.dat
  $ trace-cmd report trace.dat
