perf record: Make per-cpu mmaps the default.

This affects the -p, -t and -u options that previously defaulted to
per-thread mmaps.

Consequently add an option to select per-thread mmaps to support the old
behaviour.

Note that per-thread can be used with a workload-only (i.e. none of -p,
-t, -u, -a or -C is selected) to get a per-thread mmap with no
inheritance.

-Force the use of per-cpu mmaps.  By default, when tasks are specified (i.e. -p,
--t or -u options) per-thread mmaps are created.  This option overrides that and
