Each histogram entry has a callchain root that stores the
callchain samples. However we forgot to initialize the
tracking of children hits of these roots, which then got
random values on their creation.
The root children hits is multiplied by the minimum percentage
of hits provided by the user, and the result becomes the minimum
hits expected from children branches. If the random value due
to the uninitialization is big enough, then this minimum number
of hits can be huge and eventually filter every children branches.
The end result was invisible callchains. All we need to
fix this is to initialize the children hits of the root.

As part of ongoing effort to reduce the coupling with libnewt, browsers
are being changed to return the exit key.
The annotate browser is not returning it as expected by builtin-annotate
when annotating multiple symbols (when 'perf annotate' is called without
specifying a symbol name).
Fix it by returning the exit key and also adding the RIGHT key as a exit
key so that going to the next symbol in the TUI can work again.

This commit:
de5d9bf: Move list types from <linux/list.h> to <linux/types.h>.
Moved the list head data types out of list.h, breaking the build.
Add them to the perf types.h as well.

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.

Only in verbose mode so as not to bloat struct symbol too much.
The key used is '/', just like in vi, less, etc.
More work is needed to allocate space on the symbol in a more clear way.
This experiment shows how to do it for the hist_browser, in the main
window.
