perf report: Add -F option to specify output fields

The -F/--fields option is to allow user setup output field in any
order.  It can receive any sort keys and following (hpp) fields:

  overhead, overhead_sys, overhead_us, sample and period

If guest profiling is enabled, overhead_guest_{sys,us} will be
available too.

The output fields also affect sort order unless you give -s/--sort
option.  And any keys specified on -s option, will also be added to
the output field list automatically.

  $ perf report -F sym,sample,overhead

Note that, the example output above is captured after applying next
patch which fixes sort/comparing behavior.
