perf test: Extra verbosity and hypervisor skip for tpebs test

When not running as root and with higher perf event paranoia values
the perf record forked by TPEBS can fail to attach to the process. Skip
the test in these scenarios.

Intel TPEBS test skips on non-Intel CPUs. On Intel CPUs under a
hypervisor the cache-misses event may not be present or precise. Skip
the test under this condition.

Refactor the output code to be placed in a file so that on a signal
the file can be dumped. This was necessary to catch the issue above as
the failing perf record command would fail without output.
