perf sched timehist: Improve error message when analyzing wrong file

Arnaldo reported an unhelpful error message when running perf sched
timehist on a file that did not contain sched tracepoints:

    [root@jouet ~]# perf sched timehist
    No trace sample to read. Did you call 'perf record -R'?

    [root@jouet ~]# perf evlist -v
    cycles:ppp: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|CPU|PERIOD, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 3, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1

Change the has_traces check to look for the sched_switch event. Analysis
for perf sched timehist requires at least this event.

Now when analyzing a file without sched tracepoints you get:

    root@f21-vbox:/tmp$ perf sched timehist
    No sched_switch events found. Have you run 'perf sched record'?
