[PATCH 2/2] perf script: Add --header/--header-only options

[Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com>]

Currently the perf.data header is always displayed for stdio
output, which is no always useful.

Disabling header information by default and adding following
options to control header output:
  --header      - display header information
  --header-only - display header information only w/o further
                  processing
