perf trace: Introduce --filter-pids

When tracing in X we get event loops due to the tracing activity, i.e.
updates to a gnome-terminal that generate syscalls for X.org, etc.

To get a more useful view of what is happening, syscall wise, system
wide, we need to filter those, like in:

 # ps ax|egrep '981|2296|1519' | grep -v egrep
   981 tty1 Ss+ 5:40 /usr/bin/Xorg :0 -background none ...
  1519 ?    Sl  2:22 /usr/bin/gnome-shell
  2296 ?    Sl  4:16 /usr/libexec/gnome-terminal-server
 #

 # trace -e write --filter-pids 981,2296,1519
    0.385 ( 0.021 ms): goa-daemon/2061 write(fd: 1</dev/null>, buf: 0x7fbeb017b000, count: 136) = 136
    0.922 ( 0.014 ms): goa-daemon/2061 write(fd: 1</dev/null>, buf: 0x7fbeb017b000, count: 140) = 140
 5006.525 ( 0.029 ms): goa-daemon/2061 write(fd: 1</dev/null>, buf: 0x7fbeb017b000, count: 136) = 136
 5007.235 ( 0.023 ms): goa-daemon/2061 write(fd: 1</dev/null>, buf: 0x7fbeb017b000, count: 140) = 140
 5177.646 ( 0.018 ms): rtkit-daemon/782 write(fd: 5<anon_inode:[eventfd]>, buf: 0x7f7eea70be88, count: 8) = 8
 8314.497 ( 0.004 ms): gsd-locate-poi/2084 write(fd: 5<anon_inode:[eventfd]>, buf: 0x7fffe96af7b0, count: 8) = 8
 8314.518 ( 0.002 ms): gsd-locate-poi/2084 write(fd: 5<anon_inode:[eventfd]>, buf: 0x7fffe96af0e0, count: 8) = 8
 ^C#

When this option is used the tracer pid is also filtered.
