perf script: Enable db export to output sampled callchains

This change enables the db export api to export callchains. This is
accomplished by adding callchains obtained from samples to the
call_path_root structure and exporting them via the current call path
export API.

While the current API does support exporting call paths, this is not
supported when sampling. This commit addresses that missing feature by
allowing the export of call paths when callchains are present in
samples.

Summary:

- This feature is activated by initializing the call_path_root member
  inside the db_export structure to a non-null value.

- Callchains are resolved with thread__resolve_callchain() and then stored
  and exported by adding a call path under call path root.
- Symbol and DSO for each callchain node are exported via db_ids_from_al()

This commit puts in place infrastructure to be used by subsequent commits,
and by itself, does not introduce any user-visible changes.
