Subject: perf_counter tools: Set the minimum percent for callchains to be
 displayed

Callchains output may become a burden on a trace because even
rarely hit site are exposed. This can be too much information.

Let the user set a threshold as a minimum percent of hits using
the new pattern for the -c option:

    -c mode,min_percent

Example:

$ perf report -s sym -c flat,4

     8.25%  [k] copy_user_generic_string
             4.19%
                copy_user_generic_string
                generic_file_aio_read
                do_sync_read
                vfs_read
                sys_pread64
                system_call_fastpath
                pread64

     5.39%  [k] search_by_key
     4.63%  0x00000000009e0a
     2.36%  [k] memcpy_c
[...]

$ perf report -s sym -c graph,2

You can also omit it and it will default to 0.
