[PATCH v2] perf: test: Add support for testing JSON generated by perf data command

[Anup Sharma]

This commit adds support for testing the JSON output generated
by the perf data command's conversion to JSON functionality.
The test script now includes a validation step to ensure that
the resulting JSON file is contain valid data.

Signed-off-by: Anup Sharma <anupnewsmail@xxxxxxxxx>

Changes:
V1 -> V2: Added a check for the existence of the result output file.
          Replaced the usage of jq with json.load for validating the JSON format.
          Checks using ShellCheck and checkpatch, addressing and resolving warnings.
          Removed the unnecessary root permission check.
          Modified the perf record command to avoid requiring root permissions.
