perf report: Add support for callchain graph output

Currently, the printing of callchains is done in a single
vertical level, this is the "flat" mode:

8.25%  [k] copy_user_generic_string
             4.19%
                copy_user_generic_string
                generic_file_aio_read
                do_sync_read
                vfs_read
                sys_pread64
                system_call_fastpath
                pread64

This patch introduces a new "graph" mode which provides a
hierarchical output of factorized paths recursively sorted:

 8.25%  [k] copy_user_generic_string
                |
                |--4.31%-- generic_file_aio_read
                |          do_sync_read
                |          vfs_read
                |          |
                |          |--4.19%-- sys_pread64
                |          |          system_call_fastpath
                |          |          pread64
                |          |
                |           --0.12%-- sys_read
                |                     system_call_fastpath
                |                     __read
                |
                |--3.24%-- generic_file_buffered_write
                |          __generic_file_aio_write_nolock
                |          generic_file_aio_write
                |          do_sync_write
                |          reiserfs_file_write
                |          vfs_write
                |          |
                |          |--3.14%-- sys_pwrite64
                |          |          system_call_fastpath
                |          |          __pwrite64
                |          |
                |           --0.10%-- sys_write
[...]

The command line has then changed.

By providing the -c option, the callchain will output in the
flat mode by default.

But you can override it:

    perf report -c graph

or

    perf report -c flat

You can also pass the abreviated mode:

    perf report -c g

or

    perf report -c gra

will both make use of the graph mode.
