perf: Add the timechart tool 



timechart is a tool to visualize what is going on in the system.

The user makes a trace of what is going on with

 > perf record --timechart /usr/bin/some_command

and then can turn the output of this into an svg file

 > perf timechart

which then can be viewed with any SVG view; inkscape works well
enough for me.

The idea behind timechart is to create a "infinitely zoomable"
picture; something that has high level information on a 1:1 zoom
level, but which exposes more details every time you zoom into a
specific area.
