perf ftrace: Add 'profile' command

The 'perf ftrace profile' command is to get function execution profiles
using function-graph tracer so that users can see the total, average,
max execution time as well as the number of invocations easily.

The following is a profile for the perf_event_open syscall.

  $ sudo perf ftrace profile -G __x64_sys_perf_event_open -- \
    perf stat -e cycles -C1 true 2> /dev/null | head
  # Total (us)   Avg (us)   Max (us)      Count   Function
        65.611     65.611     65.611          1   __x64_sys_perf_event_open
        30.527     30.527     30.527          1   anon_inode_getfile
        30.260     30.260     30.260          1   __anon_inode_getfile
        29.700     29.700     29.700          1   alloc_file_pseudo
        17.578     17.578     17.578          1   d_alloc_pseudo
        17.382     17.382     17.382          1   __d_alloc
        16.738     16.738     16.738          1   kmem_cache_alloc_lru
        15.686     15.686     15.686          1   perf_event_alloc
        14.012      7.006     11.264          2   obj_cgroup_charge
