perf scripts python: intel-pt-events.py: Print ptwrite value as a string if it is ASCII

It can be convenient to put a string value into a ptwrite payload as
a quick and easy way to identify what is being printed.

To make that useful, if the Intel ptwrite payload value contains only
printable ASCII characters padded with NULLs, then print it also as a
string.

Using the example program from the "Emulated PTWRITE" section of
tools/perf/Documentation/perf-intel-pt.txt:

 $ echo -n "Hello" | od -t x8
 0000000 0000006f6c6c6548
 0000005
 $ perf record -e intel_pt//u ./eg_ptw 0x0000006f6c6c6548
 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.016 MB perf.data ]
 $ perf script --itrace=ew intel-pt-events.py
