This adds support for overwrite mode in the AUX area, which means "keep collecting data till you're stopped", turning AUX area into a circular buffer, where new data overwrites old data. It does not depend on data buffer's overwrite mode, so that it doesn't lose sideband data that is instrumental for processing AUX data. Overwrite mode is enabled at mapping AUX area read only. Even though aux_tail in the buffer's user page might be user writable, it will be ignored in this mode. A PERF_RECORD_AUX with PERF_AUX_FLAG_OVERWRITE set is written to the perf data stream every time an event writes new data to the AUX area. The pmu driver might not be able to infer the exact beginning of the new data in each snapshot, some drivers will only provide the tail, which is aux_offset + aux_size in the AUX record. Consumer has to be able to tell the new data from the old one, for example, by means of time stamps if such are provided in the trace. Consumer is also responsible for disabling any events that might write to the AUX area (thus potentially racing with the consumer) before collecting the data.
