perf report: Use a modifiable string for default callchain options

If the user doesn't provide options to tune his callchain output
(ie: if he uses -c without arguments) then the default value passed
in the OPT_CALLBACK_DEFAULT() macro is used.

But it's parsed later by strtok() which will replace comma separators
to a zero. This may segfault as we are using a read-only string.

Use a modifiable one instead, and also fix the "100%" default
minimum threshold value by turning it into a 0 (output every callchains)
as it was intended in the origin.
