[PATCH] perf tools: Dump callchain context marker names

[James Clark]

These are hard to interpret in the raw output because they are printed
as hex but are defined in perf_event.h as decimal. Make it much easier
to read the raw callchains by just printing their names.

For example:

  $ perf report -D

  1798195372321 0x4638 [0xb0]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4002): 44922/44922: 0x7c8046dd3400 period: 120218 addr: 0
  ... FP chain: nr:12
  .....  0: fffffffffffffe00 (PERF_CONTEXT_USER)
  .....  1: 00007c8046dd3400
  .....  2: 00007c8046db86d3
