perf record: Stop intercepting events, use postprocessing to get build-ids

We want to stream events as fast as possible to perf.data, and
also in the future we want to have splice working, when no
interception will be possible.

Using build_id__mark_dso_hit_ops to create the list of DSOs that
back MMAPs we also optimize disk usage in the build-id cache by
only caching DSOs that had hits.
