perf callchain: Per-event type selection support

This patchkit adds the ability to set callgraph mode (fp, dwarf, lbr) per
event. This in term can reduce sampling overhead and the size of the
perf.data.

Here is an example.

  perf record -e 'cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000,call-graph=fp,time=1/,cpu/instructions,call-graph=lbr/' sleep 1

 perf evlist -v
 cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000,call-graph=fp,time=1/: type: 4, size: 112,
 config: 0x3c, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1000, sample_type:
 IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|PERIOD|IDENTIFIER, read_format: ID, disabled: 1,
 inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all:
 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
 cpu/instructions,call-graph=lbr/: type: 4, size: 112, config: 0xc0, {
 sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type:
 IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|PERIOD|BRANCH_STACK|IDENTIFIER, read_format: ID,
 disabled: 1, inherit: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, sample_id_all: 1,
 exclude_guest: 1

@ -53,6 +53,9 @@ OPTIONS
- 'time': Disable/enable time stamping. Acceptable values are 1 for
enabling time stamping. 0 for disabling time stamping.
The default is 1.
- 'call-graph': Disable/enable callgraph. Acceptable str are "fp" for
FP mode, "dwarf" for DWARF mode, "lbr" for LBR mode.
- 'stack-size': user stack size for dwarf mode
Note: If user explicitly sets options which conflict with the params,
the value set by the params will be overridden.
