perf annotate browser: Initial loop detection



Simple algorithm, just look for the next backward jump that points to
before the cursor.

Then draw an arrow connecting the jump to its target.

Do this as you move the cursor, entering/exiting possible loops.

Ex (graph chars replaced to avoid mail encoding woes):

avc_has_perm_flags
    0.00 |         nopl   0x0(%rax)
    5.36 |+-> 68:  mov    (%rax),%rax
    5.15 ||        test   %rax,%rax
    0.00 ||      v je     130
    2.96 ||   74:  cmp    -0x20(%rax),%ebx
   47.38 ||        lea    -0x20(%rax),%rcx
    0.28 ||      ^ jne    68
    3.16 ||        cmp    -0x18(%rax),%dx
    0.00 |+------^ jne    68
    4.92 |         cmp    0x4(%rcx),%r13d
    0.00 |       v jne    68
    1.15 |         test   %rcx,%rcx
    0.00 |       v je     130
