Subject: [PATCH v6 1/7] perf config: Introduce default_config_section and default_config_item for default config key-value pairs

When initializing default perf config values,
we currently use values of actual type(int, bool, char *, etc.).

For example,
If there isn't user config value at ~/.perfconfig
for 'annotate.use_offset' config variable,
default value for it is 'true' bool type value in perf like below.

At ui/browsers/annoate.c

static struct annotate_browser_opt {
        bool hide_src_code,
             use_offset,
             jump_arrows,
             show_linenr,
             show_nr_jumps,
             show_total_period;
} annotate_browser__opts = {
        .use_offset      = true,
        .jump_arrows     = true,
};

But I suggest using 'struct default_config_section' and
'struct default_config_item' that can contain default config key-value pairs
in order to initialize default config values with them, in near future.

If we do, we could manage default perf config values at one spot (i.e. util/config.c)
with default config arrays and it could be easy and simple to modify
existing default config values or add default values for new config item.
