So I'm making the already exported to libperf to be renamed to have the
same name as the PERF_RECORD_ enum they map to, just all lowercase.
Looks nice and also makes something exported by libperf to have a perf_
namespace prefix.
BTW: you forgot to move PERF_RECORD_CONTEXT_SWITCH :-)

I did it as a separate patch, one patch for all the PERF_RECORD_ already
moved to libperf.
Also some other minor stuff, like having that
perf_event.{bpf,ksymbol}_event renamed to play perf_event.{bpf,ksymbol},
like the other records. so to make this idiom more compact and less
redundant:
event->bpf_event
becomes:
event->bpf
ditto for ksymbol_event.
