perf tools: Add 'ping' control command

Add a control 'ping' command to detect if perf is up and its control
interface is operational.

It will be used in following daemon patches to synchronize with record
session - when control interface is up and running, we know that perf
record is monitoring and ready to receive signals.

Example session:

  terminal 1:

    # mkfifo control ack
    # perf record --control=fifo:control,ack

  terminal 2:

    # echo ping > control
    # cat ack
    ack
