perf probe: Add --range option to show a variable's location range

It is not easy for users to get the accurate byte offset or the line
number where a local variable can be probed.

With '--range' option, local variables in the scope of the probe point
are showed with a byte offset range, and can be added according to this
range information.

For example, there are some variables in the function
generic_perform_write():

  <generic_perform_write@...filemap.c:0>
  0  ssize_t generic_perform_write(struct file *file,
  1                                 struct iov_iter *i, loff_t pos)
  2  {
  3          struct address_space *mapping = file->f_mapping;
  4          const struct address_space_operations *a_ops = mapping->a_ops;
  ...
  42                 status = a_ops->write_begin(file, mapping, pos, bytes, flags,
                                               &page, &fsdata);
  44                 if (unlikely(status < 0))

But we fail when we try to probe the variable 'a_ops' at line 42 or 44.

  $ perf probe --add 'generic_perform_write:42 a_ops'
  Failed to find the location of a_ops at this address.
    Perhaps, it has been optimized out.

This is because the source code do not match the assembly, so a variable
may not be available in the source code line where it appears.

After this patch, we can lookup the accurate byte offset range of a
variable, 'INV' indicates that this variable is not valid at the given
point, but available in the scope:

  $ perf probe --vars 'generic_perform_write:42' --range
  Available variables at generic_perform_write:42
    @<generic_perform_write+141>
       [INV] ssize_t written @<generic_perform_write+[324-331]>
       [INV] struct address_space_operations*        a_ops   @<generic_perform_write+[55-61,170-176,223-246]>
       [VAL] (unknown_type)  fsdata  @<generic_perform_write+[70-307,346-411]>
       [VAL] loff_t  pos     @<generic_perform_write+[0-286,286-336,346-411]>
       [VAL] long int        status  @<generic_perform_write+[83-342,346-411]>
       [VAL] long unsigned int       bytes   @<generic_perform_write+[122-311,320-338,346-403,403-411]>
       [VAL] struct address_space*   mapping @<generic_perform_write+[35-344,346-411]>
       [VAL] struct iov_iter*        i       @<generic_perform_write+[0-340,346-411]>
       [VAL] struct page*    page    @<generic_perform_write+[70-307,346-411]>

Then it is more clear for us to add a probe with this variable:

  $ perf probe --add 'generic_perform_write+170 a_ops'
  Added new event:
    probe:generic_perform_write (on generic_perform_write+170 with a_ops)
