[PATCH 2/2] tracing/function-graph-tracer: improve duration output

[Frederic Weisbecker]

Impact: better output of duration for long calls

The old duration output didn't exceeded 9999.999 us to fit the column
and the nanosecs were always 3 numbers. As Ingo suggested, it's better
to have the whole microseconds elapsed time and shift the nanosecs precision
if needed to fit the maximum 7 numbers. And usec need more number, the case
should be rare and important enough to break a bit the column alignment to
show it.

So, depending of the duration value, we now have these patterns:

u.nnn
uu.nnn
uuu.nnn
uuuu.nnn
uuuuu.nn
uuuuuu.n
uuuuuuuu.....
