perf record: Extend --threads command line option

Extend --threads option in perf record command line interface.
The option can have a value in the form of masks that specify
CPUs to be monitored with data streaming threads and its layout
in system topology. The masks can be filtered using CPU mask
provided via -C option.

The specification value can be user defined list of masks. Masks
separated by colon define CPUs to be monitored by one thread and
affinity mask of that thread is separated by slash. For example:
<cpus mask 1>/<affinity mask 1>:<cpu mask 2>/<affinity mask 2>
specifies parallel threads layout that consists of two threads
with corresponding assigned CPUs to be monitored.

The specification value can be a string e.g. "cpu", "core" or
"package" meaning creation of data streaming thread for every
CPU or core or package to monitor distinct CPUs or CPUs grouped
by core or package.

The option provided with no or empty value defaults to per-cpu
parallel threads layout creating data streaming thread for every
CPU being monitored.

Document --threads option syntax and parallel data streaming modes
in Documentation/perf-record.txt.
