perf top: Split -G and --call-graph
Splitting -G and --call-graph for record command, so we could use '-G' with no option. The '-G' option now takes NO argument and enables the configured unwind method, which is currently the frame pointers method. It will be possible to configure unwind method via config file in upcoming patches. All current '-G' arguments is overtaken by --call-graph option. NOTE: The documentation for top --call-graph option was wrongly copied from report command.

--call-graph::
- Display call chains using type, min percent threshold and order.
- type can be either:
- - flat: single column, linear exposure of call chains.
- - graph: use a graph tree, displaying absolute overhead rates.
- - fractal: like graph, but displays relative rates. Each branch of

- order can be either:
- - callee: callee based call graph.
- - caller: inverted caller based call graph.
