perf diff: Add weighted diff computation way to compare hist entries
Adding 'wdiff' as new computation way to compare hist entries.
If specified the 'Weighted diff' column is displayed with value 'd'
computed as:
d = B->period * WEIGHT-A - A->period * WEIGHT-B
- A/B being matching hist entry from first/second file specified
(or perf.data/perf.data.old) respectively.
- period being the hist entry period value
- WEIGHT-A/WEIGHT-B being user suplied weights in the the '-c' option
behind ':' separator like '-c wdiff:1,2'.
