perf intel-pt: Time filter logged perf events
Change the debug logging (when used with the --time option) to time filter logged perf events, but allow that to be overridden by using "d+a" instead of plain "d". That can reduce the size of the log file.

by flags which affect what debug messages will or will not be logged. Each flag
must be preceded by either '+' or '-'. The flags support by Intel PT are:
-a Suppress logging of perf events
+ +a Log all perf events
+By default, logged perf events are filtered by any specified time ranges, but
+flag +a overrides that.
In addition, the period of the "instructions" event can be specified. e.g.
