Beau Belgrave 5dbd04eddb tracing/user_events: Allow events to persist for perfmon_capable users
There are several scenarios that have come up where having a user_event
persist even if the process that registered it exits. The main one is
having a daemon create events on bootup that shouldn't get deleted if
the daemon has to exit or reload. Another is within OpenTelemetry
exporters, they wish to potentially check if a user_event exists on the
system to determine if exporting the data out should occur. The
user_event in this case must exist even in the absence of the owning
process running (such as the above daemon case).

Expose the previously internal flag USER_EVENT_REG_PERSIST to user
processes. Upon register or delete of events with this flag, ensure the
user is perfmon_capable to prevent random user processes with access to
tracefs from creating events that persist after exit.
