perf annotate: Print a sorted summary of annotated overhead lines

It's can be very annoying to scroll down perf annotated output
until we find relevant overhead.

Using the -l option, you can now have a small summary sorted per
overhead in the beginning of the output.

Example:

./perf annotate -l -k ../../vmlinux -s __lock_acquire

Sorted summary for file ../../vmlinux
