- Most archs use one callchain buffer per cpu, except x86 that needs
to deal with NMIs. Provide a default perf_callchain_buffer()
implementation that x86 overrides.
- Centralize all the kernel/user regs handling and invoke new arch
handlers from there: perf_callchain_user() / perf_callchain_kernel()
That avoid all the user_mode(), current->mm checks and so...
- Invert some parameters in perf_callchain_*() helpers: entry to the
left, regs to the right, following the traditional (dst, src).

So that the common tasks of providing a helpline at __run entry and
destroying the window and releasing resourses at exit can be abstracted
away, reducing a bit more the coupling with libnewt.

The annotate TUI now starts centered on the line with most samples, i.e.
the hottest line in the annotated function. Pressing TAB will center on
the second hottest function and so on. Shift+TAB goes in the other
direction.
This way one can more easily sift thru the function hotspots.

Right now it will just sort and position at the hottest line, i.e.
the one where more samples were taken.
It will be at the center of the screen and later TAB/shift-TAB will
cycle thru the hottest lines.

ARM ELF files use symbols with special names $a, $t, $d to identify regions of
ARM code, Thumb code and data within code sections. This can cause confusing
output from the perf tools, especially for partially stripped binaries, or
binaries containing user-added zero-sized symbols (which may occur in
hand-written assembler which hasn't been fully annotated with .size
directives).
This patch filters out these symbols at load time.

As new TUI features get added the newt.c file is growing a lot and its
name is growing misleading as an effort is being made to reduce the
coupling with libnewt.

So that building other browser based on structures linked via a linked
list can be as easy as it is already for the ones linked via an rb_tree.

When cmd_record exits the whole perf binary will exit right after,
so no need to traverse lots of complex data structures freeing them.
Sticked a comment for leak detectives and for a experiment with obstacks
to be performed so that we can speed up freeing that memory.
