scripts: handle BrokenPipeError for python scripts

In the follow-up of commit fb3041d61f68 ("kbuild: fix SIGPIPE error
message for AR=gcc-ar and AR=llvm-ar"), Kees Cook pointed out that
tools should _not_ catch their own SIGPIPEs [1] [2].

Based on his feedback, LLVM was fixed [3].

However, Python's default behavior is to show noisy bracktrace when
SIGPIPE is sent. So, scripts written in Python are basically in the
same situation as the buggy llvm tools.

Example:

$ make -s allnoconfig
$ make -s allmodconfig
$ scripts/diffconfig .config.old .config | head -n1
-ALIX n
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/masahiro/linux/scripts/diffconfig", line 132, in <module>
main()
File "/home/masahiro/linux/scripts/diffconfig", line 130, in main
print_config("+", config, None, b[config])
File "/home/masahiro/linux/scripts/diffconfig", line 64, in print_config
print("+%s %s" % (config, new_value))
BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

Python documentation [4] notes how to make scripts die immediately and
silently:

"""
Piping output of your program to tools like head(1) will cause a
SIGPIPE signal to be sent to your process when the receiver of its
standard output closes early. This results in an exception like
BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe. To handle this case,
wrap your entry point to catch this exception as follows:

import os
import sys

def main():
try:
# simulate large output (your code replaces this loop)
for x in range(10000):
print("y")
# flush output here to force SIGPIPE to be triggered
# while inside this try block.
sys.stdout.flush()
except BrokenPipeError:
# Python flushes standard streams on exit; redirect remaining output
# to devnull to avoid another BrokenPipeError at shutdown
devnull = os.open(os.devnull, os.O_WRONLY)
os.dup2(devnull, sys.stdout.fileno())
sys.exit(1) # Python exits with error code 1 on EPIPE

if __name__ == '__main__':
main()

Do not set SIGPIPE’s disposition to SIG_DFL in order to avoid
BrokenPipeError. Doing that would cause your program to exit
unexpectedly whenever any socket connection is interrupted while
your program is still writing to it.
"""

Currently, tools/perf/scripts/python/intel-pt-events.py seems to be the
only script that fixes the issue that way.

tools/perf/scripts/python/compaction-times.py uses another approach
signal.signal(signal.SIGPIPE, signal.SIG_DFL) but the Python
documentation clearly says "Don't do it".

I cannot fix all Python scripts since there are so many.
I fixed some in the scripts/ directory.
