perf diff: Add option to sort entries based on diff computation

Adding support to sort hist entries based on the outcome of selected
computation. It's now possible to specify '+' as a first character of
'-c' option value to make such sort.

Example:

  $ perf diff -c ratio -b
  # Event 'cache-misses'
  #
  #   Baseline           Ratio      Shared Object                            Symbol
  #   ........  ..............  .................  ................................
  #
        19.64%            0.69  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] clear_page
         0.30%            0.17  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] mm_alloc
         0.04%            0.20  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] kmem_cache_alloc

  $ perf diff -c +ratio -b
  # Event 'cache-misses'
  #
  #   Baseline           Ratio      Shared Object                            Symbol
  #   ........  ..............  .................  ................................
  #
        19.64%            0.69  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] clear_page
         0.04%            0.20  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] kmem_cache_alloc
         0.30%            0.17  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] mm_alloc
