When processing the perf data file generated with multiple events,
the flamegraph script will count all the events regardless of
different event names.
This patch tries to add a -e option to specify the event name that
the flamegraph will be generated accordingly. If the -e option omitted,
the behavior remains unchanged.

If specify the perf data file with -i option, the script will try to
read the header information regardless of the file name specified,
instead it will try to access the perf.data. This simple patch use the
file name from -i option for command perf report --header-only to read
the header.

This script works in tandem with d3-flame-graph to generate flame graphs
from perf. It supports two output formats: JSON and HTML (the default).
The HTML format will look for a standalone d3-flame-graph template file
in /usr/share/d3-flame-graph/d3-flamegraph-base.html and fill in the
collected stacks.
Usage:
perf record -a -g -F 99 sleep 60
perf script report flamegraph
Combined:
perf script flamegraph -a -F 99 sleep 60
Committer testing:
Tested both with "PYTHON=python3" and with the default, that uses
python2-devel:
Complete set of instructions:
$ mkdir /tmp/build/perf
$ make PYTHON=python3 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin
$ export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$ perf record -a -g -F 99 sleep 60
$ perf script report flamegraph
Now go and open the generated flamegraph.html file in a browser.
At first this required building with PYTHON=python3, but after I
reported this Andreas was kind enough to send a patch making it work
with both python and python3.
