perf tools: Speed up thread map generation

When trying to capture perf data on a system running spejbb2013, perf
hung for about 15 minutes.  This is because it took that long to gather
about 10,000 thread maps and process them.

I don't think a user wants to wait that long.

Instead, recognize that thread maps are roughly equivalent to pid maps
and just quickly copy those instead.

To do this, I synthesize 'fork' events, this eventually calls
thread__fork() and copies the maps over.

The overhead goes from 15 minutes down to about a few seconds.

V2: based on Jiri's comments, moved malloc up a level
    and made sure the memory was freed
