perf stream: Use evsel rather than evsel->idx

An evsel idx may not be stable due to sorting, evlist removal,
etc. Avoid use of the idx where the evsel itself can be used to avoid
these problems.

libperf: Move 'idx' from tools/perf to perf_evsel::idx

Move evsel::idx to perf_evsel::idx, so we can move the group interface
to libperf.

Committer notes:

Fixup evsel->idx usage in tools/perf/util/bpf_counter_cgroup.c, that
appeared in my tree in my local tree.

Also fixed up these:

$ find tools/perf/ -name "*.[ch]" | xargs grep 'evsel->idx'
tools/perf/ui/gtk/annotate.c: evsel->idx + i);
tools/perf/ui/gtk/annotate.c: evsel->idx);
$

That running 'make -C tools/perf build-test' caught.

perf streams: Report hot streams

We show the streams separately. They are divided into different sections.

1. "Matched hot streams"

2. "Hot streams in old perf data only"

3. "Hot streams in new perf data only".

For each stream, we report the cycles and hot percent (hits%).

For example,

cycles: 2, hits: 4.08%
--------------------------
main div.c:42
compute_flag div.c:28

perf streams: Calculate the sum of total streams hits

We have used callchain_node->hit to measure the hot level of one stream.
This patch calculates the sum of hits of total streams.

Thus in next patch, we can use following formula to report hot percent
for one stream.

hot percent = callchain_node->hit / sum of total hits

perf streams: Link stream pair

In previous patch, we have created an evsel_streams for one event, and
top N hottest streams will be saved in a stream array in evsel_streams.

This patch compares total streams among two evsel_streams.

Once two streams are fully matched, they will be linked as a pair. From
the pair, we can know which streams are matched.

perf streams: Introduce branch history "streams"

We define a stream as the branch history which is aggregated by the
branch records from perf samples. For example, the callchains aggregated
from the branch records are considered as streams. By browsing the hot
stream, we can understand the hot code path.

Now we only support the callchain for stream. For measuring the hot
level for a stream, we use the callchain_node->hit, higher is hotter.

There may be many callchains sampled so we only focus on the top N
hottest callchains. N is a user defined parameter or predefined default
value (nr_streams_max).

This patch creates an evsel_streams array per event, and saves the top N
hottest streams in a stream array.

So now we can get the per-event top N hottest streams.
