perf test: Add workload-ctl option

Add a --workload-ctl=fifo:ctl-fifo[,ack-fifo] option for 'perf test
-w'. When set, run_workload() opens the named FIFO, writes enable before
invoking the builtin workload, writes disable before returning, and
waits for ack responses when an ack FIFO is provided to ensure that the
workload doesn't run until the events are enabled.

This can be used to limit the scope of the recording to only the
workload execution and avoid recording Perf setup and teardown code if
Perf record is started with events disabled (-D 1).
