Taeung Song b05d109398 perf ftrace: Add ftrace.tracer config option
Currently 'perf ftrace' command allows selecting 'function_graph' or
'function', defaulting to 'function_graph'.

Add ftrace.tracer config option to select the default tracer:

    # cat ~/.perfconfig
    [ftrace]
        tracer = function

    # perf ftrace usleep 123456 | head -10
      <...>-14450 [002] d... 10089.284231: finish_task_switch <-__schedule
      <...>-14450 [002] .... 10089.284232: finish_wait <-pipe_wait
      <...>-14450 [002] .... 10089.284232: mutex_lock <-pipe_wait
      <...>-14450 [002] .... 10089.284232: _cond_resched <-mutex_lock

Committer notes:

Retesting it with invalid variables, invalid values for ftrace.tracer,
and a valid one:

  # cat ~/.perfconfig
  [ftrace]
        trace = function
  # perf ftrace usleep 1
  Error: wrong config key-value pair ftrace.trace=function
  # cat ~/.perfconfig
  [ftrace]
        tracer = functin
  # perf ftrace usleep 1
  Please select "function_graph" (default) or "function"
  Error: wrong config key-value pair ftrace.tracer=functin
  # cat ~/.perfconfig
  [ftrace]
        tracer = function
  # perf ftrace usleep 1 | head -5
