Subject: [PATCH v1] perf top: Make zeroing histogram on refresh the default
Instead of decaying histograms over time change it so that they are
zero-ed on each perf top refresh. Previously the option '-z', or
pressing 'z' in tui mode, would enable this behavior. Decaying samples
is non-intuitive as it isn't how "top" works. Make zeroing on refresh
the default and rename the command line options from 'z' to 'Z' and
'zero' to 'decay'.
