Fix the argv ui browser code to correctly display more entries than fit
on the screen without crashing. The problem was some type confusion with
pointer types in the ->seek function. Do the argv arithmetic correctly
with char ** pointers. Also add some asserts to find overruns and limit
the display function correctly.
Then finally remove a workaround for this in the res sample browser.
Committer testing:
1) Resize the x terminal to have just some 5 lines
2) Use 'perf report --samples 1' to activate the sample browser options
in the menu
3) Press ENTER, this will cause the crash:
# perf report --samples 1

Now 'perf report' can show whole time periods with 'perf script', but
the user still has to find individual samples of interest manually.
It would be expensive and complicated to search for the right samples in
the whole perf file. Typically users only need to look at a small number
of samples for useful analysis.
Also the full scripts tend to show samples of all CPUs and all threads
mixed up, which can be very confusing on larger systems.
Add a new --samples option to save a small random number of samples per
hist entry.
Use a reservoir sample technique to select a representatve number of
samples.
Then allow browsing the samples using 'perf script' as part of the hist
entry context menu. This automatically adds the right filters, so only
the thread or cpu of the sample is displayed. Then we use less' search
functionality to directly jump the to the time stamp of the selected
sample.
It uses different menus for assembler and source display. Assembler
needs xed installed and source needs debuginfo.
Currently it only supports as many samples as fit on the screen due to
some limitations in the slang ui code.

The scripts menu traditionally only showed custom perf scripts.
Allow to run standard perf script with useful default options too.
- Normal perf script
- perf script with assembler (needs xed installed)
- perf script with source code output (needs debuginfo)
- perf script with custom arguments
Then we automatically select the right options to display the
information in the perf.data file.
For example with -b display branch contexts.
It's not easily possible to check for xed's existence in advance. perf
script usually gives sensible error messages when it's not available.

The UI viewer for scripts output has a lot of limitations: limited size,
no search or save function, slow, and various other issues.
Just use 'less' to display directly on the terminal instead.
This won't work in GTK mode, but GTK doesn't support these context menus
anyways. If that is ever done could use an terminal for the output.

At the cost of an extra pointer, we can avoid the O(logN) cost of
finding the first element in the tree (smallest node), which is
something heavily required for histograms. Specifically, the following
are converted to rb_root_cached, and users accordingly:
hist::entries_in_array
hist::entries_in
hist::entries
hist::entries_collapsed
hist_entry::hroot_in
hist_entry::hroot_out

The annotation line percentage is compared and inserted into the rbtree,
but the percent field of 'struct annotation_data' is an array, the
comparison result between them is the address difference.
This patch compares the right slot of percent array according to
opts->percent_type and makes things right.
The problem can be reproduced by pressing 'H' in perf top annotation view.
It should highlight the instruction line which has the highest sampling
percentage.

The strncpy() function may leave the destination string buffer
unterminated, better use strlcpy() that we have a __weak fallback
implementation for systems without it.
In this case we are actually setting the null byte at the right place,
but since we pass the buffer size as the limit to strncpy() and not
it minus one, gcc ends up warning us about that, see below. So, lets
just switch to the shorter form provided by strlcpy().
This fixes this warning on an Alpine Linux Edge system with gcc 8.2:
ui/tui/helpline.c: In function 'tui_helpline__push':
ui/tui/helpline.c:27:2: error: 'strncpy' specified bound 512 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation]

We have more current function tto get the title for annotation,
which is hists__scnprintf_title. They both have same output as
far as the annotation's header line goes.
They differ in counting of the nr_samples, hists__scnprintf_title
provides more accurate number based on the setup of the
symbol_conf.filter_relative variable.
Plus it also displays any uid/thread/dso/socket filters/zooms
if there are set any, which annotation__scnprintf_samples_period
does not.

So far if we use 'perf record -g' this will make
symbol_conf.use_callchain 'true' and logic will assume that all events
have callchains enabled, but ever since we added the possibility of
setting up callchains for some events (e.g.: -e
cycles/call-graph=dwarf/) while not for others, we limit usage scenarios
by looking at that symbol_conf.use_callchain global boolean, we better
look at each event attributes.
On the road to that we need to look if a hist_entry has callchains, that
is, to go from hist_entry->hists to the evsel that contains it, to then
look at evsel->sample_type for PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN.
The next step is to add a symbol_conf.ignore_callchains global, to use
in the places where what we really want to know is if callchains should
be ignored, even if present.
Then -g will mean just to select a callchain mode to be applied to all
events not explicitely setting some other callchain mode, i.e. a default
callchain mode, and --no-call-graph will set
symbol_conf.ignore_callchains with that clear intention.
That too will at some point become a per evsel thing, that tools can set
for all or just a few of its evsels.

Remove the split of symbol tables for data (MAP__VARIABLE) and for
functions (MAP__FUNCTION), its unneeded and there were various places
doing two lookups to find a symbol, so simplify this.
We still will consider only the symbols that matched the filters in
place, i.e. see the (elf_(sec,sym)|symbol_type)__filter() routines in
the patch, just so that we consider only the same symbols as before,
to reduce the possibility of regressions.
All the tests on 50-something build environments, in varios versions
of lots of distros and cross build environments were performed without
build regressions, as usual with all pull requests the other tests were
also performed: 'perf test' and 'make -C tools/perf build-test'.
Also this was done at a great granularity so that regressions can be
bisected more easily.

The per-browser screen refresh routine (ui_browser->refresh()) should
return the first row that should be cleaned after the rows just printed,
in case not all rows available on the screen gets filled.
When moving the extra title lines logic from the hists browser to the
generic ui_browser class, one piece of that logic remained in the hists
browser and then when going back from the annotate browser to the hists
browser in a case where fewer lines were displayed in the hists browser,
for instance when filtering the entries per substring, one line of the
annotate browser would remain on the screen, fix that.
Example of the screen artifact:
================================================================================
Samples: 73K of event 'cycles:ppp', 4000 Hz, Event count (approx.): 45172901394
Overhead Shared O Symbol
0.30% [kernel] [k] __indirect_thunk_start
0.09% [kernel] [k] __x86_indirect_thunk_r10
│ lfence
================================================================================
Here from 'perf top' the view was zoomed with '/thunk' to functions
having that substring, then the first was annotated and from the
annotate browser ESC was pressed, then the first lines were overwritten,
but the 'lfence' line remained due to the off by one bug fixed in this
cset.

Now that we can have extra title lines we should use ui_browser->rows
and not ->height when drawing lines, as it will use ui_browser__gotorc()
and that will take the extra title lines into account, which was causing
an off by one at the end of the vertical line drawn by
__ui_browser__vline(), fix it.
The visual effect was that the last line, with status messages, was
being overwritten by the vertical line, looking like:

This will be useful for the annotate browser as well, that wants to have
extra title lines, i.e. the current ui_browser unconditionally reserves
the first line for a browser title and the last one for status messages.
But some browsers, like the buckets one (hists browser) needs extra
lines to show headers, allowing it to be shown or not, press 'H' in
'perf top' or 'perf report' to see this feature.
So move that logic to the core ui_browser used by the hists_browser
('perf top' and 'perf report' main interface) so that it can be used by
the annotate browser too.
