e1791347b5 perf auxtrace: Fix 'instructions' period of zero
Instruction tracing options (i.e. --itrace) include an option for
sampling instructions at an arbitrary period. e.g.

	--itrace=i10us

means make an 'instructions' sample for every 10us of trace.

Currently the logic does not distinguish between a period of
zero and no period being specified at all, so it gets treated
as the default period which is 100000.  That doesn't really
make sense.

Fix it so that zero period is accepted and treated as meaning
"as often as possible".

In the case of Intel PT that is the same as a period of 1 and
a unit of 'instructions' (i.e. --itrace=i1i).

597ee40722 perf intel-pt: Remove no_force_psb from documentation
no_force_psb was dropped as a late change to the kernel driver.
Consequently, remove it from the documentation.

5efb1d5489 perf tools: Take Intel PT into use
To record an AUX area, the weak function auxtrace_record__init() must be
implemented.

Equally to decode an AUX area, the AUX area tracing type must be added
to the perf_event__process_auxtrace_info() function.

This patch makes those two changes plus hooks up default config for the
intel_pt PMU.  Also some brief documentation is provided for using the
tools with intel_pt.
