Subject: [PATCH] perf: allow user to indicate path to objdump in command line

When analyzing perf data from hosts of other architecture than one of the local
host it's useful to call objdump that is part of a toolchain for that
architecture. Instead of calling regular objdump, call one that user specified
in command line.
