perf callchain: Allow disabling call graphs per event

This patch introduce "call-graph=no" to disable per-event callgraph.

Here is an example.

  perf record -e 'cpu/cpu-cycles,call-graph=fp/,cpu/instructions,call-graph=no/' sleep 1

  perf report --stdio

  # To display the perf.data header info, please use
  --header/--header-only options.

  # Total Lost Samples: 0

  # Samples: 6  of event 'cpu/cpu-cycles,call-graph=fp/'
  # Event count (approx.): 774218
