Frederic Weisbecker 805d127d62 perf report: Add "Fractal" mode output - support callchains with relative overhead rate
The current callchain displays the overhead rates as absolute:
relative to the total overhead.

This patch provides relative overhead percentage, in which each
branch of the callchain tree is a independant instrumentated object.

This provides a 'fractal' view of the call-chain profile: each
sub-graph looks like a profile in itself - relative to its parent.

You can produce such output by using the "fractal" mode
that you can abbreviate via f, fr, fra, frac, etc...

./perf report -s sym -c fractal

Example:
