Frederic Weisbecker 1a056155ed tracing/function-graph-tracer: adjustments of the trace informations
Impact: increase the visual qualities of the call-graph-tracer output

This patch applies various trace output formatting changes:

 - CPU is now a decimal number, followed by a parenthesis.

 - Overhead is now on the second column (gives a good visibility)

 - Cost is now on the third column, can't exceed 9999.99 us. It is
   followed by a virtual line based on a "|" character.

 - Functions calls are now the last column on the right. This way, we
   haven't dynamic column (which flow is harder to follow) on its right.

 - CPU and Overhead have their own option flag. They are default-on but you
   can disable them easily:

      echo nofuncgraph-cpu > trace_options
      echo nofuncgraph-overhead > trace_options

TODO:

_ Refactoring of the thread switch output.
_ Give a default-off option to output the thread and its pid on each row.
_ Provide headers
_ ....

Here is an example of the new trace style:

0)           |             mutex_unlock() {
0)      0.639 us |           __mutex_unlock_slowpath();
