Subject: [PATCH v2] perf tools: Introduce perf_thread for backtrace

Backtrace is a crucial info for debugging.  And upcoming refcnt
tracking facility also wants to use it.

So instead of relying on glibc's backtrace_symbols[_fd] which misses
some (static) functions , use our own symbol searching mechanism.  To
do that, add perf_thread global variable to keep its maps and symbols.

The backtrace output from TUI is changed like below.  (I made a key
action to generate a segfault):

Before:
  perf: Segmentation fault
  -------- backtrace --------
  perf[0x544a8b]
  /usr/lib/libc.so.6(+0x33680)[0x7fc46420b680]
  perf[0x54041b]
  perf(perf_evlist__tui_browse_hists+0x91)[0x5432e1]
  perf(cmd_report+0x1d20)[0x43cb10]
  perf[0x487073]
  perf(main+0x62f)[0x42cb1f]
  /usr/lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf0)[0x7fc4641f8610]
  perf(_start+0x29)[0x42cc39]

After:
  perf: Segmentation fault
  -------- backtrace --------
  perf_evsel__hists_browse(+0x43b) in perf [0x54066b]
  perf_evlist__tui_browse_hists(+0x91) in perf [0x543531]
  cmd_report(+0x1d20) in perf [0x43cb50]
  run_builtin(+0x53) in perf [0x4870b3]
  main(+0x634) in perf [0x42cb54]
  __libc_start_main(+0xf0) in libc-2.22.so [0x7fea3577c610]
  _start(+0x29) in perf [0x42cc79]
