Currently perf saves a build-id with size but old versions assumes the
size of 20. In case the build-id is less than 20 (like for MD5), it'd
fill the rest with 0s.
I saw a problem when old version of perf record saved a binary in the
build-id cache and new version of perf reads the data. The symbols
should be read from the build-id cache (as the path no longer has the
same binary) but it failed due to mismatch in the build-id.
symsrc__init: build id mismatch for /home/namhyung/.debug/.build-id/53/
e4c2f42a4c61a2d632d92a72afa08f00000000/elf.
The build-id event in the data has 20 byte build-ids, but it saw a
different size (16) when it reads the build-id of the elf file in the
build-id cache.

Let's fix this by allowing trailing zeros if the size is different.
