[PATCH v9 2/9] perf config: Add '--system' and '--user' options to select which config file is used

[Taeung Song]

The file-options '--system' means $(sysconfdir)/perfconfig and
'--user' means $HOME/.perfconfig. If file-option isn't used,
both system and user config file is read.
The syntax examples are like below.

    perf config [<file-option>] [options]

    a specific config file.
    # perf config --user | --system
    or
    both user and system config file.
    # perf config
