perf: Convert perf header attrs into attr events

Bypasses the attr perf header code and replaces it with a
synthesized event and processing function that accomplishes the
same thing, used when reading/writing perf data to/from a pipe.

Making the attrs into events allows them to be streamed over a
pipe along with the rest of the header data (in later patches).
It also paves the way to allowing events to be added and removed
from perf sessions dynamically.
