using schedstat counters

- Add a faster libdw based addr2line implementation and allow selecting
it or its alternatives via 'perf config addr2line.style='

select fields using 'perf report''s -F/-fields, e.g.:

'perf report --fields overhead,type'

Rust workloads

- Fix srcline printing with inlines in callchains, make sure this has
coverage in 'perf test'

- Fix printing of leaf IP in LBR callchains

- Fix display of metrics without sufficient permission in 'perf stat'

code

report'

event config in 'perf mem', update docs for 'perf c2c' including the
ARM events it can be used with

perf test workload: Add code_with_type test workload

The purpose of the workload is to gather samples of rust runtime. To
achieve that it has a dummy rust library linked with it.

Per recommendations for such scenarios [1], the rust library is
statically linked.

An example:

$ perf record perf test -w code_with_type
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.160 MB perf.data (4074 samples) ]

$ perf report --stdio --dso perf -s srcfile,srcline

6.72% code_with_type.rs code_with_type.rs:15
6.64% range.rs range.rs:767
4.26% code_with_type.rs code_with_type.rs:21
