Currently the output sums up to 100% for each entry. But it can be
confusing when it's displayed with 'overhead'.
Before:
$ perf mem report -F overhead,sample,cache,comm
...
# -------------- Cache --------------

3.73% 103 40.4% 0.3% 2.7% 39.4% 17.2% gnome-shell
Let's convert it to use absolute percent value so that it can add up to
the overhead for that entry.

This is a breakdown of perf_mem_data_src.mem_lvl_num. But it's also
divided into two parts because the combination is bigger than 8.
Since there are many entries for different cache levels, 'cache' field
focuses on them. I generalized buffers like LFB, MAB and MHB to L1-buf
and L2-buf.
The rest goes to 'memory' field which can be RAM, CXL, PMEM, IO, etc.

This is an actual example of the he_mem_stat based sample breakdown. It
uses 'mem_op' field of union perf_mem_data_src which means memory
operations.
It'd have basically 'load' or 'store' which can be useful if PMU doesn't
have separate events for them like IBS or SPE. In addition, there's an
entry in case load and store happen at the same time. Also adds entries
for prefetching and execution.

This is a preparation for later changes to support mem_stat output. The
new fields will need two lines for the header - the first line will show
type of mem stat and the second line will show the name of each item
which is returned by mem_stat_name().
Each element in the mem_stat array will be printed in percentage for the
hist_entry and their sum would be 100%.
Add new output field dimension only for SORT_MODE__MEM using mem_stat.
To handle possible name conflict with existing sort keys, move the order
of checking output field dimensions after the sort dimensions when it
looks for sort keys.

In 7cecb7fe83 ("perf hists: Move sort__has_comm into struct
perf_hpp_list") it assumes that act->thread is set prior to calling
do_zoom_thread().
This doesn't happen when we use ESC or the Left arrow key to Zoom out of
a specific thread, making this operation not to work and we get stuck
into the thread zoom.
In 6422184b08 ("perf hists browser: Simplify zooming code using
pstack_peek()") it says no need to set actions->thread, and at that
point that was true, but in 7cecb7fe83 a actions->thread == NULL
check was added before the zoom out of thread could kick in.
We can zoom out using the alternative 't' thread zoom toggle hotkey to
finally set actions->thread before calling do_zoom_thread() and zoom
out, but lets also fix the ESC/Zoom out of thread case.

In the past (like before 2015) we had the familiar workflow of using
ENTER to get the menu and then zoom on a pid or DSO, kernel, etc and
then use UP and DOWN to navigate further, etc, and then when wanting to
go to the previous level, i.e. to Zoom out, use the LEFT arrow key.
This way the right hand stays in the arrow keys block that is near the
enter and we can go around real quickly.
But then, when we started supporting horizontal scrolling by columns to
support things like 'perf c2c report' that has lots of columns, we
switched to using the LEFT key exclusively for that, horizontal
scrolling, requiring the user to press 'm' to get a "context menu" that
then would allow users to select the Zoom out operation.
Ingo recently reported this as not intuitive, which is true, so lets
overload the LEFT key with both meanings, by doing a Zoom out operation
if the LEFT key is pressed when we're on the first column, but use it
also for horizontal scrolling if it is pressed when the cursor is on
column > 1.

Ingo reported that having a visual cue if the source code view is
enabled will help in noticing a bug when no source is presented.
Change the title scnprintf routine for the annotation browser to do
that.
More work is needed to have the capabilities of the existing
disassemblers listed somehow and start using the fastest one but switch
to another that provides features only made available by some particular
one, like the first one, the objdump output parsing one.

Justification from Namhyung when asked about why it would be "better":
Cache line sizes are power of 2 so it'd be natural to use hex and
check whether an offset is in the same boundary. Also 'perf annotate'
shows instruction offsets in hex.

Like 'perf report', use 'e' or 'E' key to toggle folding the current
entry so that it can control displaying child entries.
Note I didn't add the 'c' and 'C' key to collapse the entry because it's
also handled with the 'e'/'E' since it toggles the state.
Committer testing:
Do some 'perf mem record' for some workload of the whole system, using
the target options, as usual (--pid/-p, -C/--cpu, -a for the system wide
profiling, etc) and then:
# perf annotate --skip-empty --data-type=pthread_mutex_t
That, by default, will start as --tui, then press 'E' to see the whole
struct unfolded, etc.

Like in the hists browser, it should support folding current entry so
that it can hide unwanted details in some data structures.
The folded entries will be displayed with the '+' sign, while unfolded
entries will have the '-' sign.
Entries that have no children will not show any signs.

I then go to the perf annotate view and quit. This triggers the asan

Address 0x7f2813331920 is located in stack of thread T0 at offset 32 in frame
#0 0x55c94046e85e in hist_browser__run ui/browsers/hists.c:746
This frame has 1 object(s):
[32, 192) 'title' (line 747) <== Memory access at offset 32 is
inside this variable
HINT: this may be a false positive if your program uses some custom
stack unwind mechanism, swapcontext or vfork
```
hist_browser__run isn't on the stack so the asan error looks legit.
There's no clean init/exit on struct ui_browser so I may be trading a
use-after-return for a memory leak, but that seems look a good trade
anyway.
