Andi Kleen 508be0dfe6 perf report: Add srcline_from/to branch sort keys ...

Add "srcline_from" and "srcline_to" branch sort keys that allow to show
the source lines of a branch.

That makes it much easier to track down where particular branches happen
in the program, for example to examine branch mispredictions, or to
associate it with cycle counts:

  % perf record -b -e cycles:p ./tcall
  % perf report --sort srcline_from,srcline_to,mispredict
  ...
    15.10%  tcall.c:18       tcall.c:10       N
    14.83%  tcall.c:11       tcall.c:5        N
    14.12%  tcall.c:7        tcall.c:12       N
    14.04%  tcall.c:12       tcall.c:5        N
    12.42%  tcall.c:17       tcall.c:18       N
    12.39%  tcall.c:7        tcall.c:13       N
    12.27%  tcall.c:13       tcall.c:17       N
  ...
