perf sched timehist: Introduce timehist command

'perf sched timehist' provides an analysis of scheduling events.

Example usage:
    perf sched record -- sleep 1
    perf sched timehist

By default it shows the individual schedule events, including the wait
time (time between sched-out and next sched-in events for the task), the
task scheduling delay (time between wakeup and actually running) and run
time for the task:

            time    cpu  task name             wait time  sch delay   run time
                         [tid/pid]                (msec)     (msec)     (msec)
