tracing/function-graph-tracer: enhancements for the trace output

Impact: enhance the output of the graph-tracer

This patch applies some ideas of Ingo Molnar and Steven Rostedt.

* Output leaf functions in one line with parenthesis, semicolon and duration
  output.

* Add a second column (after cpu) for an overhead sign.
  if duration > 100 us, "!"
  if duration > 10 us, "+"
  else " "

* Print output in us with remaining nanosec: u.n

* Print duration on the right end, following the indentation of the functions.
  Use also visual clues: "-" on entry call (no duration to output) and "+" on
  return (duration output).

The name of the tracer has been fixed as well: function-branch becomes
function_branch.

Here is an example of the new output:
