perf report: Show random usage tip on the help line

Currently perf report only shows a help message "For a higher level
overview, try: perf report --sort comm,dso" unconditionally (even if
the sort keys were used).  Add more help tips and show randomly.

Load tips from ${prefix}/share/doc/perf-tip/tips.txt file.

  $ perf report | tail
