simpletrace: fix flight recorder --no-header option

The simpletrace.py script can pretty-print flight recorder ring buffers.
These are not full simpletrace binary trace files but just the end of a
trace file.  There is no header and the event ID mapping information is
often unavailable since the ring buffer may have filled up and discarded
event ID mapping records.

The simpletrace.stp script that generates ring buffer traces uses the
same trace-events-all input file as simpletrace.py.  Therefore both
scripts have the same global ordering of trace events.  A dynamic event
ID mapping isn't necessary: just use the trace-events-all file as the
reference for how event IDs are numbered.

It is now possible to analyze simpletrace.stp ring buffers again using:

  $ ./simpletrace.py trace-events-all path/to/ring-buffer
