perf session: fix error message on failure to open perf.data

If we cannot open our data file, print strerror(errno) for a more
comprehensible error message; and only suggest 'perf record' on ENOENT.

In particular, this fixes the nonsensical advice when:

    % sudo perf record sleep 1
    [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.009 MB perf.data (~381 samples) ]
    % perf trace
    failed to open file: perf.data  (try 'perf record' first)
    %
