There are two copies of event reading loop - in bpftool and
trace_helpers "library". Consolidate them and move the code
to libbpf. Return codes from trace_helpers are kept, but
renamed to include LIBBPF prefix.

Ask the kernel to include sample time in each even instead of
reading the clock. This is also more accurate because our
clock reading was done when user space would dump the buffer,
not when sample was produced.

Users of BPF sooner or later discover perf_event_output() helpers
and BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY. Dumping this array type is
not possible, however, we can add simple reading of perf events.
Create a new event_pipe subcommand for maps, this sub command
will only work with BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY maps.
Parts of the code from samples/bpf/trace_output_user.c.
