perf trace: Implement --delay

In the perf wiki todo-list[1], there is an entry regarding initial-delay
and 'perf trace'; the following small patch tries to fulfill this point.
It has been generated against the branch tip/perf/core.

It has only been implemented in the "trace__run" case.

Ex.:

  $ sudo strace -- ./perf trace --delay 5 sleep 1 2>&1
  ...
  fcntl(7, F_SETFL, O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK)  = 0
  ioctl(7, PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID, 0x7ffc8fd35718) = 0
  ioctl(11, PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT, 0x7) = 0
  fcntl(11, F_SETFL, O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK) = 0
  ioctl(11, PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID, 0x7ffc8fd35718) = 0
  write(6, "\0", 1)                       = 1
  close(6)                                = 0
  nanosleep({0, 5000000}, NULL)           = 0  # DELAY OF 5 MS BEFORE ENABLING THE EVENTS
  ioctl(3, PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE, 0)      = 0
  ioctl(4, PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE, 0)      = 0
  ioctl(5, PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE, 0)      = 0
  ioctl(7, PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE, 0)      = 0
  ...
