[PATCH 2/8] perf sort: Add 'addr' sort key

[Namhyung Kim]

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@xxxxxxx>

New addr sort key provides a way to sort the entries by the symbol
addresses.  It can be helpful to figure out symbol resolution problem
when a dso cannot do it properly as well as finding hotpath in a dso
and/or a function.
