perf hists browser: Support flat callchains

The flat callchain mode is to print all chains in a single, simple
hierarchy so make it easy to see.

Currently perf report --tui doesn't show flat callchains properly.  With
flat callchains, only leaf nodes are added to the final rbtree so it
should show entries in parent nodes.  To do that, add parent_val list to
struct callchain_node and show them along with the (normal) val list.

For example, consider following callchains with '-g graph'.

  $ perf report -g graph
  - 39.93%  swapper  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] intel_idle
       intel_idle
       cpuidle_enter_state
       cpuidle_enter
       call_cpuidle
     - cpu_startup_entry
          28.63% start_secondary
        - 11.30% rest_init
             start_kernel
             x86_64_start_reservations
             x86_64_start_kernel

Before:
  $ perf report -g flat
  - 39.93%  swapper  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] intel_idle
       28.63% start_secondary
     - 11.30% rest_init
          start_kernel
          x86_64_start_reservations
          x86_64_start_kernel

After:
  $ perf report -g flat
  - 39.93%  swapper  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] intel_idle
     - 28.63% intel_idle
          cpuidle_enter_state
          cpuidle_enter
          call_cpuidle
          cpu_startup_entry
          start_secondary
     - 11.30% intel_idle
          cpuidle_enter_state
          cpuidle_enter
          call_cpuidle
          cpu_startup_entry
          start_kernel
          x86_64_start_reservations
          x86_64_start_kernel
