[BOLT] Filter itrace from perf script mmap & task events (#69585)
perf2bolt launches a few perf script commands and stores the output in temporary files before processing the output and cleaning them up before it exits. The command `perf script --show-mmap-events` outputs PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 and instruction tracing data but when processed it only looks for PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 and the instruction tracing data is ignored. This is fine for small amounts of instruction trace data but when I've recorded Arm ETM or Intel PT AUX I get lots of it By adding `--no-itrace` is will just show the PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 records and will save on time running the `perf script`, disk space storing the output & time parsing the output. It is the same for `perf script --show-task-events` where BOLT is only interested in the PERF_RECORD_COMM & PERF_RECORD_FORK records. ### Data | Perf Record | Perf Data Size | MMap Size | MMap No Itrace Size | |---|---|---|---| | perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u | 137K | 4468K | 0.632K | | perf record -e intel_pt//u | 890K | 33378K | 0.673K |
