perf top: Add option to enable the LBR stitching approach

Browse Source 
With the LBR stitching approach, the reconstructed LBR call stack
can break the HW limitation. However, it may reconstruct invalid call
stacks in some cases, e.g. exception handing such as setjmp/longjmp.
Also, it may impact the processing time especially when the number of
samples with stitched LBRs are huge.

Add an option to enable the approach.
The option must be used with --call-graph lbr.
