perf python: Support the PERF_RECORD_SWITCH event
To test it check tools/perf/python/twatch.py, after following the
instructions there to enable context_switch, output looks like:
[root@zoo linux]# tools/perf/python/twatch.py

cpu: 1, pid: 31463, tid: 31463 { type: context_switch, next_prev_pid: 31463, next_prev_tid: 31463, switch_out: 0 }
