[PATCH] perf script: Add --[no-]-demangle/--[no-]-demangle-kernel

[Yannick Brosseau]

From: Mark Drayton <mbd@xxxxxx>

Summary: Sometimes when post-processing output from `perf script` one
does not want to demangle C++ symbol names. Add an option to allow this.
Also add --[no-]demangle-kernel to be consistent with top/report/probe.
