perf record/report: Add call graph / call chain profiling
Add the first steps of call-graph profiling:
- add the -c (--call-graph) option to perf record
- parse the call-graph record and printout out under -D (--dump-trace)
The call-graph data is not put into the histogram yet, but it
can be seen that it's being processed correctly:

This shows a 3-entry call-graph: with 1 kernel-space and two user-space
entries
