perf tools: Support for DWARF mode callchain

This patch enables perf to use the DWARF unwind code.

It extends the perf record '-g' option with following arguments:
  'fp'           - provides framepointer based user
                   stack backtrace
  'dwarf[,size]' - provides DWARF (libunwind) based user stack
                   backtrace. The size specifies the size of the
                   user stack dump. If omitted it is 8192 by default.

If libunwind is found during the perf build, then the 'dwarf' argument
becomes available for record command. The 'fp' stays as default option
in any case.

Examples: (perf compiled with libunwind)

   perf record -g dwarf ls
      - provides dwarf unwind with 8192 as stack dump size

   perf record -g dwarf,4096 ls
      - provides dwarf unwind with 4096 as stack dump size

   perf record -g -- ls
   perf record -g fp ls
      - provides frame pointer unwind
