[PATCH v1 0/8] perf: Follow-up patches to improve time slice

[Jin Yao]

It's follow-up patches to improve the perf time slice feature
(perf report/script --time xxx)

1. Improve the error message
   perf report: Improve error msg when no first/last sample time found
   perf script: Improve error msg when no first/last sample time found

2. Fix an issue that illegal percent was accepted previously (e.g. 1abc%)
   perf util: Improve error checking for time percent input

3. Omit the slice index if possible. For example,
   perf report --stdio --time 10%/1 is equivalent to
   perf report --stdio --time 10%

   perf util: Support no index time percent slice 

4. Add indication of time slices in perf report header.
   perf report: Add an indication of what time slices are used

5. Remove the time slices number limitation in perf report/script
   perf util: Allocate time slices buffer according to number of comma
   perf report: Remove the time slices number limitation
   perf script: Remove the time slices number limitation
