After output/sort fields refactoring, it's expensive
to check the elide bool in its current location inside
the 'struct sort_entry'.
The perf_hpp__should_skip function gets highly noticable in
workloads with high number of output/sort fields, like for:
$ perf report -i perf-test.data -F overhead,sample,period,comm,pid,dso,symbol,cpu --stdio
Performance report:
9.70% perf [.] perf_hpp__should_skip
Moving the elide bool into the 'struct perf_hpp_fmt', which
makes the perf_hpp__should_skip just single struct read.
Got speedup of around 22% for my test perf.data workload.
The change should not harm any other workload types.

On stdio, there's a problem that it shows invalid values for
callchains in cumulated hist entries. It's because it only cares
about the self period. But with --children behavior, we always add
callchain info to the cumulated entries so it should use the value in
that case.

Print accumulated stat of a hist entry if requested.
To do that, add new HPP_PERCENT_ACC_FNS macro and generate a
perf_hpp_fmt using it. The __hpp__sort_acc() function sorts entries
by accumulated period value. When accumulated periods of two entries
are same (i.e. single path callchain) put the caller above since
accumulation tends to put callers on higher position for obvious
reason.
Also add "overhead_children" output field to be selected by user.

The hists__filter_entries() function is called when down arrow key is
pressed for navigating through the entries in TUI. It has a check for
filtering out entries that have very small overhead (under min_pcnt).
However it just assumed the entries are sorted by the overhead so when
it saw such a small overheaded entry, it just stopped navigating as an
optimization. But it's not true anymore due to new --fields and
--sort optoin behavior and this case users cannot go down to a next
entry if ther's an entry with small overhead in-between.

The -F/--fields option is to allow user setup output field in any
order. It can receive any sort keys and following (hpp) fields:
overhead, overhead_sys, overhead_us, sample and period
If guest profiling is enabled, overhead_guest_{sys,us} will be
available too.
The output fields also affect sort order unless you give -s/--sort
option. And any keys specified on -s option, will also be added to
the output field list automatically.
$ perf report -F sym,sample,overhead

Until now the hpp and sort functions do similar jobs different ways.
Since the sort functions converted/wrapped to hpp formats it can do
the job in a uniform way.
The perf_hpp__sort_list has a list of hpp formats to sort entries and
the perf_hpp__list has a list of hpp formats to print output result.
To have a backward compatibility, it automatically adds 'overhead'
field in front of sort list. And then all of fields in sort list
added to the output list (if it's not already there).

The hist_browser__reset() is only called right after a filter is
applied so it needs to udpate browser->nr_entries properly. We cannot
use hists->nr_non_filtered_entreis directly since it's possible that
such entries are also filtered out by minimum percentage limit.
In addition when a filter is used for perf top, hist browser's
nr_entries field was not updated after applying the filter. But it
needs to be updated as new samples are coming.

The nr_entries variable is increased inside the loop in the function
but it always count the first entry regardless of it's filtered or
not; caused an off-by-one error.
It'd become a problem especially there's no entry at all - it'd get a
segfault during referencing a NULL pointer.

The --percentage option is for controlling overhead percentage
displayed. It can only receive either of "relative" or "absolute".
"relative" means it's relative to filtered entries only so that the
sum of shown entries will be always 100%. "absolute" means it retains
the original value before and after the filter is applied.

Note that it has zero effect if no filter was applied.

Each call to tui_progress__update() would forcibly refresh the entire
screen. This is somewhat inefficient and causes noticable flickering
during the startup of perf-report, especially on large/slow terminals.
It looks like the force-refresh in tui_progress__update() serves no
purpose other than to clear the screen so that the progress bar of a
previous operation does not subsume that of a subsequent operation. But
we can do just that in a much more efficient manner by clearing only the
region that a previous progress bar may have occupied before repainting
the new progress bar. Then the force-refresh could be removed with no
change in visuals.
This patch disables the slow force-refresh in tui_progress__update() and
instead calls SLsmg_fill_region() on the entire area that the progress
bar may occupy before repainting it. This change makes the startup of
perf-report much faster and appear much "smoother".
It turns out that this was a big bottleneck in the startup speed of
perf-report -- with this patch, perf-report starts up ~2x faster (1.1s
vs 0.55s) on my machines. (These numbers were measured by running "time
perf report" on an 8MB perf.data and pressing 'q' immediately.)
