Tom Zanussi f526d68b6c perf/scripts: Fix supported language listing option
'perf trace -s list' prints a list of the supported scripting
languages.  One problem with it is that it falls through and prints
the trace as well.  The use of 'list' for this also makes it easy to
confuse with 'perf trace -l', used for listing available scripts.  So
change 'perf trace -s list' to 'perf trace -s lang' and fixes the
fall-through problem.

perf-trace(1)
==============
NAME
----
perf-trace - Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display trace output
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'perf trace' {record <script> | report <script> [args] }
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This command reads the input file and displays the trace recorded.
There are several variants of perf trace:
'perf trace' to see a detailed trace of the workload that was
recorded.
'perf trace record <script>' to record the events required for 'perf
trace report'. <script> is the name displayed in the output of
'perf trace --list' i.e. the actual script name minus any language
extension.
'perf trace report <script>' to run and display the results of
<script>. <script> is the name displayed in the output of 'perf
trace --list' i.e. the actual script name minus any language
extension. The perf.data output from a previous run of 'perf trace
record <script>' is used and should be present for this command to
succeed.
OPTIONS
-------
-D::
--dump-raw-trace=::
Display verbose dump of the trace data.
-L::
--Latency=::
Show latency attributes (irqs/preemption disabled, etc).
-l::
--list=::
Display a list of available trace scripts.
-s ['lang']::
--script=::
Process trace data with the given script ([lang]:script[.ext]).
