perf data: Allow to use stdio functions for pipe mode

When perf data is in a pipe, it reads each event separately using
read(2) syscall.  This is a huge performance bottleneck when
processing large data like in perf inject.  Also perf inject needs to
use write(2) syscall for the output.

So convert it to use buffer I/O functions in stdio library for pipe
data.  This makes inject-build-id bench time drops from 20ms to 8ms.

  $ perf bench internals inject-build-id
  # Running 'internals/inject-build-id' benchmark:
    Average build-id injection took: 8.074 msec (+- 0.013 msec)
    Average time per event: 0.792 usec (+- 0.001 usec)
    Average memory usage: 8328 KB (+- 0 KB)
    Average build-id-all injection took: 5.490 msec (+- 0.008 msec)
    Average time per event: 0.538 usec (+- 0.001 usec)
    Average memory usage: 7563 KB (+- 0 KB)

This patch enables it just for perf inject when used with pipe (it's a
default behavior).  Maybe we could do it for perf record and/or report
later..
