Subject: [PATCH v12 00/22] perf config: Add functionalities into perf-config and document config info

Add options (user, system, list-all, skel, verbose, remove) and
getting and setting features into perf-config subcommand to more useful.
And document perf config informations for each section.

Changes in v12:
	- Modify perf-config documentation for each section to be more proper
	and correct small typing errors as suggested by Namhyung (PATCH v12 1~13/22)
	- Add missed config variables that are group, show_linenr and show_total_period
	as suggested by Namhyung (PATCH v12 4,9,16/22)

Changes in v11:
	- Add --skel option to produce an skeleton with the possible config variables
	as suggested by Arnaldo (PATCH v11 19/24)
	- Add exception handling to --list option when nothing configured.
	as suggested by Arnaldo (PATCH v11 18/24)
	- Default action without option is to show an usage message.
	as suggested by Arnaldo (PATCH v11 1/24)

Changes in v10:
	- Split perf-config.txt into several patches for each section and replace some
	paragraphes with better proper things as suggested by Arnaldo and Namhyung
	(PATCH v10 2~15/22)
	- Correct wrong default values for each variable as suggested by Namhyung
	(PATCH v10 18/22)
	- Remove the compare name function.

Changes in v9:
	- Add the compare name functionality treating '-' and '-' as being the same thing
	for usability (PATCH v9 4/9)

Changes in v8:
	- Correct small typing errors in a perf-config documention (PATCH v8 1/8)
	- Split the collecting configs part into a separate patch (PATCH v8 3/8)
	- Use new enum and struct for default configs instead of hard-coded value
	as suggested by Namhyung (PATCH v8 4/8)

Changes in v7:
	- Modify explanations of syntax and options(color, gtk, tui, buildid, annotate)
	to be better proper descriptions as suggested by Arnaldo (PATCH v7 1/7)

Changes in v6:
	- Split a 'set' feature patch into two patch to separate normalize_value() from it. 
	(PATCH v6 5/7, PATCH v6 6/7)
	- Bug fix : 'remove' and 'set' malfunctions when without a specific file-option.
	(If file-option isn't used, 'remove' feature had to use both user and system
	config file and 'set' feature had to only handle user config file.)
	(PATCH v6 5/7, PATCH v6 7/7)

Changes in v5:
	- Simplify the switch statement in cmd_config()
	- Set a config file path with '--system' or '--user'
	instead of '--global' or '--system' as suggested by Namhyung. (PATCH v5 2/6)
	- The patch about 'get' and 'set 'split into two patchs
	as suggested by Namhyung. (PATCH v5 4/6, PATCH v5 5/6)

Changes in v4:
	- If some config value is default value, notice it is '(default)'
	as suggested by Jirka. (PATCH v4 3/5)

	- If there wasn't any perfconfig file, perf-config malfunctioned like
	Jirka pointed out. So add exception routine with '--global' and '--system'
	option which can select perf config file path. (PATCH v4 2/5)

Changes in v3:
	- Add a config variable 'kmem.default' with a default value as suggested by Namhyung.
	(PATCH v3 2/5, PATCH v4 3/5)

Changes in v2:
	- Change option name of listing all configs as '--list-all' instead of '--all'
	as suggested by Namhyung. (PATCH v2 3/4, PATCH v4 4/5)

	- Correct small infelicities or typing errors in a perf-config documention
	as suggested by Arnaldo. (PATCH v2 1/4, PATCH v4 1/5)

	- Declaration a global variable 'static struct default_configsets' has config variables
	with default values instead of using a 'util/PERFCONFIG-DEFAULT' file.
	(PATCH v2 3/4, PATCH v4 3/5)

	- Add a function to normalize a value and check data type of it.
	(PATCH v2 2/4, PATCH v4 3/5)

	- Simplify parsing arguments as arguments is just divided by '=' and then
	in front of '.' is a section, between '.' and '=' is a name, and behind '=' is a value.
	(PATCH v2 2/4, PATCH v4 3/5)

	- If run perf-config command without any option, perf-config work as '--list'.
	(PATCH v2 1/4, PATCH v4 1/5)
