Some minor changes to Bash

[jkstill]

Some simple stuff; directory check, existence of perf.

Also, use python2. I am not sure if this will work everywhere, though on Oracle Linux I found it necessary.

Added Query-Examples.md

These are changes made in Dec 2020, and I promptly forgot about them for 4 months.

Hopefully they do not cause conflicts.

Let's not hardcode to python2 as many systems don't have python2 anymore. It's the role of /usr/bin/env to find out whatever is the installed version of python in the system.

This ./xcapture call assumes that user has changed their working dir to where xcapture binary is located, this won't always be the case in reality when people run it from cmdline.

There was actually a reason why I used hardcoded /usr/bin/perf - on systems with different kernels (like Oracle linux kernel on RHEL clones), sometimes perf report used the wrong perf and used a legacy text UI output. However, in this script, we use perf for just sampling the kernel, so it might be fine. I will do some tests to make sure.
