perf tools: Provide backward compatibility with previous perf.data version
We have merged the trace.info file into perf.data by adding one section in the perf headers. This makes it incompatible with previous version: the new perf tools can't read the older perf.data. To support the previous format, we check the headers size. If they have the same size than in the previous format, then ignore the trace info section that doesn't exist.
