perf config: Add '--system' and '--user' options to select which config file is used
The '--system' option means $(sysconfdir)/perfconfig and '--user' means
$HOME/.perfconfig. If none is used, both system and user config file are
read. E.g.:
# perf config [<file-option>] [options]
With an specific config file:
# perf config --user | --system
or both user and system config file:
# perf config

The file '$(sysconfdir)/perfconfig' can be used to
store a system-wide default configuration.
+When reading or writing, the values are read from the system and user
+configuration files by default, and options '--system' and '--user'
+can be used to tell the command to read from or write to only that location.
