The patch adds a new option to limit the output file size, then based
on it, we can create a wrapper of the perf command that uses the option
to avoid exhausting the disk space by the unconscious user.

Signed-off-by: Jiwei Sun <jiwei.sun@windriver.com>

v2 changes:
  - make patch based on latest Arnaldo's perf/core,
  - display warning message when reached the limit.

Please do a v3 adding this new option to
tools/perf/Documentation/perf-record.txt

Please also rename it to --max-size-output, because then we coudl use:

perf record --max-size-output

or:

perf record --max-size

or even:

perf record --max saving typing :-)

Also please show it in use, i.e. the output of it working.
