Subject: [PATCH 05/12] perf report: Hide output pipe for percent-limited callchains on stdio

The output of callchains on stdio shows pipes to display callchain depth
and continuation.  But if --percent-limit option is given, it should
take it into account so that it can omit unnecessary pipes on the last
callchain node.

For example, when 0.03 percent limit is given:

Before)

  $ perf report --stdio --percent-limit 0.03
  ...
       0.06%  sleep    [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] kmem_cache_alloc_trace
              |
              ---kmem_cache_alloc_trace
                 perf_event_mmap
                 |
                 |--0.04%--mmap_region
                 |          do_mmap_pgoff
                 |          vm_mmap_pgoff

                ^^^
		here

It's because there's a node which has 0.02% of overhead but it's now
shown due to the percent limit.  After applying this patch,

After)

  $ perf report --stdio --percent-limit 0.03
  ...
       0.06%  sleep    [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] kmem_cache_alloc_trace
              |
              ---kmem_cache_alloc_trace
                 perf_event_mmap
                 |
                  --0.04%--mmap_region
                            do_mmap_pgoff
                            vm_mmap_pgoff
