perf python: New treport script

A textual app that displays the results of processing samples similar
to perf report. The app displays a tree of first processes and then
functions which drop down to show more detail on the functions they
call. The functions with the largest number of samples are sorted
first, after each function the percentage of time spent within it is
highlighted. If more than one event is recorded then each event
appears first, with the processes and functions sorted for that event
beneath it.

The app is written in python and requires the textual framework. Using
the textual framework means that in most modern terminals the mouse is
supported, the color scheme can be configured, and screenshots made.

With perf report:
```
$ perf record -e cycles:u -g perf test -w brstack
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.008 MB perf.data (57 samples) ]
$ perf report
...

With the treport script:
```
$ perf record -e cycles:u -g perf test -w brstack
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.008 MB perf.data (57 samples) ]

Committer testing:

One needs to install 'python-textual' to have this working.
