perf: Introduce a new "round of buffers read" pseudo event

In order to provide a more rubust and deterministic reordering
algorithm, we need to know when we reach a point where we just
did a pass through over every counter buffers to read every thing
they had.

This patch introduces a new PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND pseudo event
that only consist in an event header and doesn't need to contain
anything.
