When performing "perf report --group", it shows the event group information
together. By default, the output is sorted by the first event in group.

It would be nice for user to select any event for sorting. This patch
introduces a new option "--group-sort-idx" to sort the output by the
event at the index n in event group.

For example,

Before:

# perf report --group --stdio

# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
#
#
# Total Lost Samples: 0
#
# Samples: 12K of events 'cpu/instructions,period=2000003/, cpu/cpu-cycles,period=200003/, BR_MISP_RETIRED.ALL_BRANCHES:pp, cpu/event=0xc0,umask=1,cmask=1,
# Event count (approx.): 6451235635
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol

0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0.02% mgen [kernel.kallsyms] [k] scheduler_tick

Now the output is sorted by the fourth event in group.
