perf report: Prefer DWARF callstacks to LBR ones when captured both
Display DWARF based callchains when the perf.data file contains raw thread
stack data as LBR callstack data.
Commiter testing:
This changes the output from the branch stack based one, i.e. without
this patch, for the same file as in the previous csets:
# perf report --stdio
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.

# (Tip: Profiling branch (mis)predictions with: perf record -b / perf report)
#
#
The branch stack view be explicitely selected using:
# perf report -h branch-stack
Usage: perf report [<options>]
-b, --branch-stack use branch records for per branch histogram filling
#
I.e. after this patch:
# perf report -b --stdio
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
