perf session: Skip unsupported new event types

`perf report` currently halts with an error when encountering
unsupported new event types (`event.type >= PERF_RECORD_HEADER_MAX`).

This patch modifies the behavior to skip these samples and continue
processing the remaining events.

Additionally, stops reporting if the new event size is not 8-byte
aligned.
