Subject: [PATCH] perf, record: Ammend option summaries


Because there's too many options and I cannot read, I frequently get
confused between -c and -P, and try to do things like:

  perf record -P 50000 -- foo

Which does not work; try and make the option description slightly longer
and hopefully less confusing.
