The existing API perf_thread_map__new_dummy() allocates new thread map
for one thread. I couldn't find a way to reallocate the map with more
threads, or to allocate a new map for more than one thread.
Having multiple threads in a thread map is essential for some use cases.
That's why a new API is proposed, which allocates a new thread map for
given number of threads: perf_thread_map__new_array()

In order to support usersapce access, an event must be mmapped. While
there's already mmap support for evlist, the usecase is a bit different
than the self monitoring with userspace access. So let's add new
perf_evsel__mmap()/perf_evsel_munmap() functions to mmap/munmap an
evsel. This allows implementing userspace access as a fastpath for
perf_evsel__read().
The mmapped address is returned by perf_evsel__mmap_base() which
primarily for users/tests to check if userspace access is enabled.
