perf record: auto detect when stdout is a pipe
This patch gives the ability to 'perf record' to detect when its stdout
has been redirected to a pipe. There's now no more need to add '-o -'
switch in this case.
However '-o <path>' option has always precedence, that is if specified
and stdout has been connected via a pipe then the output will go into
the specified output.
