perf report: Add option to enable the LBR stitching approach

With the LBR stitching approach, the reconstructed LBR call stack can
break the HW limitation. However, it may reconstruct invalid call stacks
in some cases, e.g. exception handing such as setjmp/longjmp.  Also, it
may impact the processing time especially when the number of samples
with stitched LBRs are huge.

Add an option to enable the approach.

This option extends the perf report to show reference callgraphs,
which collected by reference event, in no callgraph event.
--stitch-lbr::
Show callgraph with stitched LBRs, which may have more complete
callgraph. The perf.data file must have been obtained using
perf record --call-graph lbr.
Disabled by default. In common cases with call stack overflows,
it can recreate better call stacks than the default lbr call stack
output. But this approach is not full proof. There can be cases
where it creates incorrect call stacks from incorrect matches.
The known limitations include exception handing such as
setjmp/longjmp will have calls/returns not match.
--socket-filter::
Only report the samples on the processor socket that match with this filter
