Subject: [PATCH] perf/test: Speed up test case perf annotate basic tests

perf test 70 takes a long time. One culprit is the output of command
perf annotate. Per default enabled are
 - demangle symbol names
 - interleave source code with assembly code.
Disable demangle of symbols and abort the annotation
after the first 250 lines.

This speeds up the test case considerable, for example
on s390:

Output before:
 # time  perf test 70
 70: perf annotate basic tests             : Ok
 .....
 real   2m7.467s
 user   1m26.869s
 sys    0m34.086s
 #

 Output after:
 # time perf test 70
 70: perf annotate basic tests             : Ok

 real   0m3.341s
 user   0m1.606s
 sys    0m0.362s
 #
