[PATCH v2 5/7] perf config: Add support for write functionality

[Taeung Song]

Add support for write functionality in config file
(i.e. user or system config file).
This functionality autogerates a config file with
existing config key-value pairs.

For the syntax examples,

    perf config [<file-option>] [section.name[=value] ...]

e.g. You can set the ui.show-headers to false with

    # perf config ui.show-headers=false

If you want to add or modify several config items, you can do like

    # perf config annotate.show_nr_jumps=false kmem.default=slab

Sure, you can also use file-option --user or --system.
