perf script: Support filtering by hex address



'perf script' supports '-S' or '--symbol' options to only list the
records for these symbols. A symbol is typically a name or hex address.
If it's hex address, it is the start address of one symbol.

While it would be useful if we can filter trace records by any hex
address (not only the start address of symbol). So now we support
filtering trace records by more conditions, such as:

- symbol name
- start address of symbol
- any hexadecimal address
- address range

The comparison order is defined as:

1. symbol name comparison
2. symbol start address comparison.
3. any hexadecimal address comparison.
4. address range comparison.

The idea is if we can get a valid address from -S list, we add the
address to addr_list for address comparison otherwise we still leave
it to sym_list for symbol comparison.

Some examples:

  root@kbl-ppc:~# ./perf script -S ffffffff9a477308
            perf  8562 [000] 347303.578858:          1   cycles:  ffffffff9a477308 native_write_msr+0x8 ([kernel.kallsyms])
