perf trace: Introduce --min-stack filter

Counterpart to --max-stack, to help focusing on deeply nested calls. Can
be combined with --duration, etc.

E.g.:

  System wide syscall tracing looking for call stacks longer than 66:

  # trace --mmap-pages 32768 --filter-pid 2711 --call-graph dwarf,16384 --min-stack 66

  Or more compactly:

  # trace -m 32768 --filt 2711 --call dwarf,16384 --min-st 66
