Jiri Olsa bbb2cea7e8 perf tools: Add --debug optionto set debug variable
Adding --debug option as a way to setup debug variables.  Starting with
support for verbose, more will come.

It's possible to use it now with report command:
  $ perf --debug verbose   ...
  $ perf --debug verbose=2 ...

I'll need this support to add separated debug variable for ordered
events change in order to separate debug output out of standard verbose
stream.
