Ian Rogers e9a7053da3 perf header: Allow attributes to be written after data
With a file, to write data an offset needs to be known. Typically data
follows the event attributes in a file.

However, if processing a pipe the number of event attributes may not be
known.

It is convenient in that case to write the attributes after the data.

Expand perf_session__do_write_header() to allow this when the data
offset and size are known.

This approach may be useful for more than just taking a pipe file to
write into a data file, `perf inject --itrace` will reserve and
additional 8kb for attributes, which would be unnecessary if the
attributes were written after the data.
