perf tool: Provide an option to print perf_event_open args and return value

Perf record with verbose=2 already prints this information along with
whole lot of other traces which requires lot of scrolling. Introduce
an option to print only perf_event_open() arguments and return value.

Sample o/p:

  $ perf --debug perf-event-open=1 record -- ls > /dev/null

Committer notes:

Just like the 'verbose' variable this new 'debug_peo_args' needs to be
added to util/python.c, since we don't link the debug.o file in the
python binding, which ended up making 'perf test python' fail with:

  # perf test -v python
  18: 'import perf' in python                               :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 19237
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: debug_peo_args
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  'import perf' in python: FAILED!
  #

After adding that new variable to util/python.c:

  # perf test -v python
  18: 'import perf' in python                               :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 22364
  test child finished with 0
  ---- end ----
  'import perf' in python: Ok
