Fix the argv ui browser code to correctly display more entries than fit
on the screen without crashing. The problem was some type confusion with
pointer types in the ->seek function. Do the argv arithmetic correctly
with char ** pointers. Also add some asserts to find overruns and limit
the display function correctly.
Then finally remove a workaround for this in the res sample browser.
Committer testing:
1) Resize the x terminal to have just some 5 lines
2) Use 'perf report --samples 1' to activate the sample browser options
in the menu
3) Press ENTER, this will cause the crash:
# perf report --samples 1
perf: Segmentation fault

Now 'perf report' can show whole time periods with 'perf script', but
the user still has to find individual samples of interest manually.
It would be expensive and complicated to search for the right samples in
the whole perf file. Typically users only need to look at a small number
of samples for useful analysis.
Also the full scripts tend to show samples of all CPUs and all threads
mixed up, which can be very confusing on larger systems.
Add a new --samples option to save a small random number of samples per
hist entry.
Use a reservoir sample technique to select a representatve number of
samples.
Then allow browsing the samples using 'perf script' as part of the hist
entry context menu. This automatically adds the right filters, so only
the thread or cpu of the sample is displayed. Then we use less' search
functionality to directly jump the to the time stamp of the selected
sample.
It uses different menus for assembler and source display. Assembler
needs xed installed and source needs debuginfo.
Currently it only supports as many samples as fit on the screen due to
some limitations in the slang ui code.

The scripts menu traditionally only showed custom perf scripts.
Allow to run standard perf script with useful default options too.
- Normal perf script
- perf script with assembler (needs xed installed)
- perf script with source code output (needs debuginfo)
- perf script with custom arguments
Then we automatically select the right options to display the
information in the perf.data file.
For example with -b display branch contexts.
It's not easily possible to check for xed's existence in advance. perf
script usually gives sensible error messages when it's not available.

The UI viewer for scripts output has a lot of limitations: limited size,
no search or save function, slow, and various other issues.
Just use 'less' to display directly on the terminal instead.
This won't work in GTK mode, but GTK doesn't support these context menus
anyways. If that is ever done could use an terminal for the output.

At the cost of an extra pointer, we can avoid the O(logN) cost of
finding the first element in the tree (smallest node), which is
something heavily required for histograms. Specifically, the following
are converted to rb_root_cached, and users accordingly:
hist::entries_in_array
hist::entries_in
hist::entries
hist::entries_collapsed
hist_entry::hroot_in
hist_entry::hroot_out

The annotation line percentage is compared and inserted into the rbtree,
but the percent field of 'struct annotation_data' is an array, the
comparison result between them is the address difference.
This patch compares the right slot of percent array according to
opts->percent_type and makes things right.
The problem can be reproduced by pressing 'H' in perf top annotation view.
It should highlight the instruction line which has the highest sampling
percentage.

The strncpy() function may leave the destination string buffer
unterminated, better use strlcpy() that we have a __weak fallback
implementation for systems without it.
In this case we are actually setting the null byte at the right place,
but since we pass the buffer size as the limit to strncpy() and not
it minus one, gcc ends up warning us about that, see below. So, lets
just switch to the shorter form provided by strlcpy().
This fixes this warning on an Alpine Linux Edge system with gcc 8.2:
ui/tui/helpline.c: In function 'tui_helpline__push':
ui/tui/helpline.c:27:2: error: 'strncpy' specified bound 512 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
strncpy(ui_helpline__current, msg, sz)[sz - 1] = '\0';
