Gautam Menghani 59df607bf8 perf python: Add counting.py as example for counting perf events
Add counting.py - a python version of counting.c to demonstrate
measuring and reading of counts for given perf events.

Committer testing:

Build perf and make the generated python binding somewhere you can point
to to avoid using the one in the distro python3-perf (fedora, may be
different in other distros):

  $ make -k O=/tmp/build/$(basename $PWD)/ -C tools/perf install-bin

Copy /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/python/perf.cpython-313-x86_64-linux-gnu.so to
somewhere outside this toolbox container and then use it with root:

  # export PYTHONPATH=/root/python/
  # ls -la /root/python/
  total 10640
  drwxr-xr-x. 1 root root       72 May 21 11:40 .
  dr-xr-x---. 1 root root      574 May 21 11:40 ..
  -rwxr-xr-x. 1 acme acme 10894360 May 21 11:40 perf.cpython-313-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
