perf tools: Allow '--inherit' as the negation of '--no-inherit'

Long options can be negated by prefixing them with 'no-'.  However
options that already start with 'no-', such as '--no-inherit' result in
ugly double 'no's.

Avoid that by accepting that the removal of 'no-' also negates the long
option.
