The default input file for perf report is not handled the same way as
perf record does it for its output file. This leads to unexpected
behavior of perf report, etc. E.g.:

 # perf record -a -e cpu-cycles sleep 2 | perf report | cat
 failed to open perf.data: No such file or directory  (try 'perf record' first)

While perf record writes to a fifo, perf report expects perf.data to be
read. This patch changes this to accept fifos as input file.

Applies to the following commands:

 perf annotate
 perf buildid-list
 perf evlist
 perf kmem
 perf lock
 perf report
 perf sched
 perf script
 perf timechart

Also fixes char const* -&gt; const char* type declaration for filename
strings.

v2:
* Prevent potential null pointer access to input_name in
  builtin-report.c. Needed due to removal of patch "perf report: Setup
  browser if stdout is a pipe"

Alias 'perf sched trace' to 'perf trace', for workflow completeness.

Add a bit of documentation for perf sched.

This turn-key tool allows scheduler measurements to be
conducted and the results be displayed numerically.

First baby step towards that goal: clone the new command off of
perf trace.

Fix a few other details along the way:

 - add (minimal) perf trace documentation

 - reorder a few places

 - list perf trace in the mainporcelain list as well
   as it's a very useful utility.
