Add a new mode to only print metrics. Sometimes we don't care about the
raw values, just want the computed metrics. This allows more compact
printing, so with -I each sample is only a single line. This also
allows easier plotting and processing with other tools.
The main target is with using --topdown, but it also works with -T and
standard perf stat. A few metrics are not supported.
To avoiding having to hardcode all the metrics in the code it uses a two
pass approach: first compute dummy metrics and only print the headers in
the print_metric callback. Then use the callback to print the actual
values.
There are some additional changes in the stat printout code to handle
all metrics being on a single line.
One issue is that the column code doesn't know in advance what events
are not supported by the CPU, and it would be hard to find out as this
could change based on dynamic conditions. That causes empty columns in
some cases.
The output can be fairly wide, often you may need more than 80 columns.
Example:
% perf stat -a -I 1000 --metric-only

The context menu in TUI hists browser checks corresponding sort keys
when creating the menu item. But hotkey actions lacks these checks so
it can filter using incorrect info.
For example, default sort key of 'perf top' doesn't contain 'comm' or
'pid' sort key so each hist entry's thread info is not reliable. Thus
it should prohibit using thread filter on 't' key.

The commit 2eafd410e6 ("perf hists browser: Only 'Zoom into thread'
only when sort order has 'pid'") disabled thread filtering in hist
browser for the default sort key. However the he->thread is still valid
even if 'pid' sort key is not given. Only thing it should not use is
the pid (or tid) of the thread. So allow to filter by thread when
'comm' sort key is given and show pid only if 'pid' sort key is given.

When hierarchy mode is enabled, each entry in a hierarchy level shares
the period. IOW an upper level entry's period is the sum of lower level
entries. Thus perf uses only one of them to calculate the total period
of hists. It was lowest-level (leaf) entries but it has a problem when
it comes to filters.
If a filter is applied, entries in the same level will be filtered or
not. But upper level entries still have period of their sum including
filtered one. So total sum of upper level entries will not be same as
sum of lower level entries.
This resulted in entries having more than 100% of overhead and it can be
produced using perf top with filter(s).

When a command-line filter is applied in hierarchy mode, output is
broken especially when filtering on lower level. The higher level
entries doesn't show up so it's hard to see the results.
Also it needs to handle multi sort keys in a single hierarchy level.

Remove the union in evsel so that the database id and priv pointer can
be used simultainously without conflicting and crashing.
Detailed Description for the fixed bug follows:
perf script crashes with a segmentation fault on user space tool version
4.5.rc7.ge2857b when using the python database export API. It works
properly in 4.4 and prior versions.
the crash fist appeared in:
cfc8874a48 ("perf script: Process cpu/threads maps")
How to reproduce the bug:
Remove any temporary files left over from a previous crash (if you have
already attemped to reproduce the bug):
$ rm -r test_db-perf-data
$ dropdb test_db
$ perf record timeout 1 yes >/dev/null
$ perf script -s scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py test_db
Stack Trace:

While building on a Docker container for ubuntu and installing package
by package one ends up with:

compilation terminated.
mv: cannot stat '/tmp/build/util/.genelf.o.tmp': No such file or directory
Because the jitdump code needs the DWARF related development packages to
be installed. So make it dependent on that so that the build can succeed
without jitdump support.

Now hpp formats are linked using perf_hpp_list_node when hierarchy is
enabled. Use this info to print entries with multiple sort keys in a
single hierarchy properly.
For example, the below example shows using 4 sort keys with 2 levels.
$ perf report --hierarchy -s '{prev_pid,prev_comm},{next_pid,next_comm}' \
--percent-limit 1 -i perf.data.sched
...
# Overhead prev_pid+prev_comm / next_pid+next_comm

This implements having multiple sort keys in a single hierarchy level.
Originally only single sort key is supported for each level, but now
using the group syntax with '{ }', it can set more than one sort key in
one level. Note that now it needs to quote in order to prevent shell
interpretation.
For example:
$ perf report --hierarchy -s '{comm,dso},sym'
...
# Overhead Command / Shared Object / Symbol
# .............. ..........................................
#
48.67% swapper [kernel.vmlinux]
34.42% [k] intel_idle
1.30% [k] __tick_nohz_idle_enter
1.03% [k] cpuidle_reflect
8.87% firefox libpthread-2.22.so
6.60% [.] __GI___libc_recvmsg
1.18% [.] pthread_cond_signal@@GLIBC_2.3.2
1.09% [.] 0x000000000000ff4b
6.11% Xorg libc-2.22.so
5.27% [.] __memcpy_sse2_unaligned
In the above example, the command name and the shared object name are
shown on the same line but the symbol name is on the different line.
Since the first two are grouped by '{}', they are in the same level.
