perf python: Support the PERF_RECORD_SWITCH event

To test it check tools/perf/python/twatch.py, after following the
instructions there to enable context_switch, output looks like:

  [root@zoo linux]# tools/perf/python/twatch.py
  cpu: 1, pid: 31463, tid: 31463 { type: context_switch, next_prev_pid: 31463, next_prev_tid: 31463, switch_out: 0 }
  cpu: 2, pid: 31463, tid: 31496 { type: context_switch, next_prev_pid: 31463, next_prev_tid: 31496, switch_out: 0 }

  cpu: 1, pid: 31463, tid: 31463 { type: context_switch, next_prev_pid: 31463, next_prev_tid: 31463, switch_out: 0 }

To test the PERF_RECORD_SWITCH record, pick a pid and replace
in the following line.
Example output:
cpu: 3, pid: 31463, tid: 31593 { type: context_switch, next_prev_pid: 31463, next_prev_tid: 31593, switch_out: 1 }

cpu: 3, pid: 31463, tid: 31491 { type: context_switch, next_prev_pid: 31463, next_prev_tid: 31491, switch_out: 0 }
It is possible as well to use event.misc & perf.PERF_RECORD_MISC_SWITCH_OUT
to figure out if this is a context switch in or out of the monitored threads.
If bored, please add command line option parsing support for these options :-)
