perf session: Try to read pipe data from file

Ian came with the idea of having support to read the pipe data also from
file. Currently pipe mode files fail like:

  $ perf record -o - sleep 1 > /tmp/perf.pipe.data
  $ perf report -i /tmp/perf.pipe.data
  incompatible file format (rerun with -v to learn more)

This patch adds the support to do that by trying the pipe header first,
and if its successfully detected, switching the perf data to pipe mode.

Committer testing:

  # ls
  # perf record -a -o - sleep 1 > /tmp/perf.pipe.data
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]
  # ls
  # perf report -i /tmp/perf.pipe.data | head -25
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
  #

  # Total Lost Samples: 0

  # Samples: 511  of event 'cycles'
  # Event count (approx.): 178447276
