perf report: Add 'typeoff' sort key



The typeoff sort key shows the data type name, offset and the name of
the field.  This is useful to see which field in the struct is accessed
most frequently.

  $ perf report -s type,typeoff --hierarchy --stdio
  ...
  #     Overhead  Data Type / Data Type Offset
  # ............  ............................
  #
  ...
        1.23%     struct cfs_rq
           0.19%    struct cfs_rq +404 (throttle_count)
           0.19%    struct cfs_rq +0 (load.weight)
           0.19%    struct cfs_rq +336 (leaf_cfs_rq_list.next)
           0.09%    struct cfs_rq +272 (propagate)
           0.09%    struct cfs_rq +196 (removed.nr)
           0.09%    struct cfs_rq +80 (curr)
           0.09%    struct cfs_rq +544 (lt_b_children_throttled)
           0.06%    struct cfs_rq +320 (rq)

Committer testing:

Again with the perf.data from the previous csets:

  # perf report --stdio -s type,typeoff
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
  #
  #
  # Total Lost Samples: 0
  #
  # Samples: 4  of event 'cpu_atom/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P'
  # Event count (approx.): 7
  #
  # Overhead  Data Type  Data Type Offset
  # ........  .........  ................
  #
      42.86%  struct list_head  struct list_head +8 (prev)
      42.86%  (unknown)  (unknown) +0 (no field)
      14.29%  char       char +0 (no field)

  #
  # (Tip: To see callchains in a more compact form: perf report -g folded)
  #
  # perf report --stdio -s dso,type,typeoff
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
  #
  #
  # Total Lost Samples: 0
  #
  # Samples: 4  of event 'cpu_atom/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P'
  # Event count (approx.): 7
  #
  # Overhead  Shared Object         Data Type  Data Type Offset
  # ........  ....................  .........  ................
  #
      42.86%  [kernel.kallsyms]     struct list_head  struct list_head +8 (prev)
      28.57%  libc.so.6             (unknown)  (unknown) +0 (no field)
      14.29%  [kernel.kallsyms]     char       char +0 (no field)
      14.29%  ld-linux-x86-64.so.2  (unknown)  (unknown) +0 (no field)

  #
  # (Tip: If you have debuginfo enabled, try: perf report -s sym,srcline)
