[PATCH v12 17/22] perf config: Add a option 'skel' to perf-config

[Taeung Song]

Produce an skeleton with the possible config variables so
that one could then use $EDITOR ~/.perfconfig or
$(sysconfdir)/perfconfigand go on setting the knobs.

For the syntax examples,

    # perf config -k | --skel
    Initialize the possible config variables on config file.
    # perf config --skel > ~/.perfconfig
