perf test script: Add python script testing support

Basic coverage of python script support from `perf script`.

Committer testing:

  $ perf test 'perf script python'
  107: perf script python tests                                        : Ok
  $ perf test -vv 'perf script python'
  107: perf script python tests:
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 595537
  Testing event: sched:sched_switch
  perf script python test [Skipped: failed to record sched:sched_switch]
  Testing event: task-clock
  Generating python script...
  generated Python script: /tmp/__perf_test_script.J4rWj.py
  Executing python script...
  perf script python test [Success: task-clock triggered param_dict]
  ---- end(0) ----
  107: perf script python tests                                        : Ok
