Subject: [PATCH 3/7] perf ui/tui: Print backtrace symbols when segfault occurred

The output will look like below.  (I added an error into ui__init()
for the test).

  $ perf report
  perf: Segmentation fault
  -------- backtrace --------
  perf[0x503781]
  /usr/lib/libc.so.6(+0x33b20)[0x7f1a14f04b20]
  perf(ui__init+0xd5)[0x503645]
  perf(setup_browser+0x97)[0x4ce4e7]
  perf(cmd_report+0xcea)[0x4392ba]
  perf[0x428493]
  perf(main+0x60a)[0x427c0a]
  /usr/lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf0)[0x7f1a14ef1040]
  perf[0x427d29]
  [0x0]
