Subject: [PATCH V2 2/5] tools/perf: Add dynamic headers for perf report columns

Currently the header string for different columns in perf report
is fixed. Some fields of perf sample could have different meaning
for different architectures than the meaning conveyed by the header
string. An example is the new field 'var2_w' of perf_sample_weight
structure. This is presently captured as 'Local INSTR Latency' in
perf mem report. But this could be used to denote a different latency
cycle in another architecture.

Introduce a weak function arch_perf_header_entry() to set
the arch specific header string for the fields which can contain dynamic
header. If the architecture do not have this function, fall back to the
default header string value.
