perf test: Introduce script for data symbol testing
The test is designed with a data structure with 64-byte alignment, it has two fields "data1" and "data2", and other fields are reserved. Using the "perf mem" command, we can record and report memory samples for a self-contained workload with 1 second duration. If no samples are obtained for the data structure "buf1", it reports failure; and by checking the offset in structure "buf1", if the memory samples aren't for the "data1" and "data2" fields, it means wrong data symbol parsing and returns failure.
