Currently flame graph generation requires a d3-flame-graph template to
be installed. Unfortunately this is hard to come by for things like
Debian [1]. If the template isn't installed then ask if it should be
downloaded from jsdelivr CDN. The downloaded HTML file is validated
against an md5sum. If the download fails, generate a minimal flame
graph with the javascript coming from links to jsdelivr CDN.

v2. Change the warning to a prompt about downloading and add the
--allow-download command line flag. Add an md5sum check for the
downloaded HTML.

Thank you for the changes. I've tested v2 with:

* d3-flame-graph package installed
* template not installed, download template from jsdelivr
* download from jsdelivr, with --allow-download
* invalid checksum
* unreachable jsdelivr, creating a minimal template

Everything works great except when I'm invoking "perf script flamegraph -a -F 99 sleep 10" (combining perf report + perf script):

[root@agerstmayr-thinkpad tmp]# perf script flamegraph -a -F 99 sleep 10

iirc when running "perf script flamegraph" the perf.data gets piped to stdin of the flamegraph script, so we can't ask the user in this case. You can check this condition with `self.args.input == "-". Not sure what's the best action in this case, maybe just exit?


Cheers,
Andreas
