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
      0.10%  swapper  [kernel.vmlinux]   [k] irq_exit
      0.09%  swapper  [kernel.vmlinux]   [k] flush_smp_call_function_queue
      0.08%  swapper  [kernel.vmlinux]   [k] native_write_msr_safe
      0.03%  swapper  [kernel.vmlinux]   [k] group_sched_in
      0.01%  perf     [kernel.vmlinux]   [k] native_write_msr_safe

[ Renamed it to perf_tip() and the parameter dirname to dirpath to fix the build on older distros ]

For a higher level overview, try: perf report --sort comm,dso
Sample related events with: perf record -e '{cycles,instructions}:S'
Compare performance results with: perf diff [<old file> <new file>]
Boolean options have negative forms, e.g.: perf report --no-children
Customize output of perf script with: perf script -F event,ip,sym
Generate a script for your data: perf script -g <lang>
Save output of perf stat using: perf stat record <target workload>
Create an archive with symtabs to analyse on other machine: perf archive
Search options using a keyword: perf report -h <keyword>
Use parent filter to see specific call path: perf report -p <regex>
List events using substring match: perf list <keyword>
To see list of saved events and attributes: perf evlist -v
Use --symfs <dir> if your symbol files are in non-standard locations
To see callchains in a more compact form: perf report -g folded
