When the perf script output is written to a terminal stream, the normal
output of `perf script` would get buffered, but its debug output would
be written directly. This made it quite hard to figure out where a given
debug output is coming from.
We can improve on this by flushing the output buffer after processing an
event. To see the value, compare the following output for a `perf script
-v` run:
Before this patch:
```
unwind: reg 16, val 7faf7dfdc000
unwind: reg 7, val 7ffc80811e30
unwind: find_proc_info dso /usr/lib/ld-2.28.so
unwind: reg 6, val 0
unwind: _start:ip = 0x7faf7dfdc000 (0x2000)
unwind: reg 16, val 7faf7dfdc000
unwind: reg 7, val 7ffc80811e30
unwind: find_proc_info dso /usr/lib/ld-2.28.so
unwind: reg 6, val 0
unwind: _start:ip = 0x7faf7dfdc000 (0x2000)
unwind: reg 16, val 7faf7dfdc000
unwind: reg 7, val 7ffc80811e30
unwind: find_proc_info dso /usr/lib/ld-2.28.so
unwind: reg 6, val 0
unwind: _start:ip = 0x7faf7dfdc000 (0x2000)
unwind: reg 16, val 7faf7dfdc000
unwind: reg 7, val 7ffc80811e30
... lots and lots of verbose debug output
cpp-inlining 24617 90229.122036534: 1 cycles:uppp:
7faf7dfdc000 _start+0x0 (/usr/lib/ld-2.28.so)
cpp-inlining 24617 90229.122043974: 1 cycles:uppp:
7faf7dfdc000 _start+0x0 (/usr/lib/ld-2.28.so)
...
```
After this patch:
```
...
unwind: reg 16, val 7faf7dfdc000
unwind: reg 7, val 7ffc80811e30
unwind: find_proc_info dso /usr/lib/ld-2.28.so

unwind: _start:ip = 0x7faf7dfdc000 (0x2000)
cpp-inlining 24617 90229.122036534: 1 cycles:uppp:
7faf7dfdc000 _start+0x0 (/usr/lib/ld-2.28.so)
unwind: reg 16, val 7faf7dfdc000
unwind: reg 7, val 7ffc80811e30
unwind: find_proc_info dso /usr/lib/ld-2.28.so
unwind: reg 6, val 0
unwind: _start:ip = 0x7faf7dfdc000 (0x2000)
cpp-inlining 24617 90229.122043974: 1 cycles:uppp:
7faf7dfdc000 _start+0x0 (/usr/lib/ld-2.28.so)
...
```
This new output format makes it much easier to use perf script output
for debugging purposes, e.g. to investigate broken dwarf unwinding.
