there's event_update event for scale and some other evsel stuff
that was before we were able to put header through pipe

it might be less code changes.. sythesize it via:

       if (has_scale(counter)) {
               err = perf_event__synthesize_event_update_scale(NULL, counter, process_synthesized_event);
               if (err < 0) {
                       pr_err("Couldn't synthesize evsel scale.\n");
                       return err;
               }
       }

and new tool's event_update callback, which is already implemented
in perf_event__process_event_update

having event instead of header feature might have
other drawbacks.. not sure it will fit here
