2016-09-29perf tools: Update documentation info about quipperSimon Que
The existing link is outdated. The most recent quipper code can be found at the new URL. Committer notes: Quipper is a C++ parser that can be used to convert from a perf.data file to and from a protobuf, a Chromium OS facility.

2016-06-29perf tools: Add documentation for perf.data on disk formatAndi Kleen
Add some documentation for the on disk format of perf.data. This is not documenting the actual perf events -- which are documented in perf_event.h -- but just the additional headers that perf record adds around them when writing the data to disk.
