perf report: Support folded callchain mode on --stdio

Add new call chain option (-g) 'folded' to print callchains in a line.
The callchains are separated by semicolons, and preceded by (absolute)
percent values and a space.

For example, the following 20 lines can be printed in 3 lines with the
folded output mode:

  $ perf report -g flat --no-children | grep -v ^# | head -20
      60.48%  swapper  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] intel_idle
              54.60%
                 intel_idle
                 cpuidle_enter_state
                 cpuidle_enter
                 call_cpuidle
                 cpu_startup_entry
                 start_secondary

              5.88%
                 intel_idle
                 cpuidle_enter_state
                 cpuidle_enter
                 call_cpuidle
                 cpu_startup_entry
                 rest_init
                 start_kernel
                 x86_64_start_reservations
                 x86_64_start_kernel

  $ perf report -g folded --no-children | grep -v ^# | head -3
      60.48%  swapper  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] intel_idle
  54.60% intel_idle;cpuidle_enter_state;cpuidle_enter;call_cpuidle;cpu_startup_entry;start_secondary
  5.88% intel_idle;cpuidle_enter_state;cpuidle_enter;call_cpuidle;cpu_startup_entry;rest_init;start_kernel;x86_64_start_reservations;x86_64_start_kernel

This mode is supported only for --stdio now and intended to be used by
some scripts like in FlameGraphs[1].  Support for other UI might be
added later.
