perf report: Enable sorting by srcline as key
Often it is interesting to know how costly a given source line is in
total. Previously, one had to build these sums manually based on all
addresses that pointed to the same source line. This patch introduces
srcline as a sort key, which will do the aggregation for us.
Paired with the recent addition of showing inline frames, this makes
perf report much more useful for many C++ work loads.
The following shows the new feature in action. First, let's show the
status quo output when we sort by address. The result contains many hist
entries that generate the same output:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
$ perf report --stdio --inline -g address
# Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ........ ............ ................... .........................................

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With this patch and `-g srcline` we instead get the following output:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
$ perf report --stdio --inline -g srcline
# Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ........ ............ ................... .........................................
