[PATCH v2 3/4] perf report: Add --time-filter option

[Namhyung Kim]

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@xxxxxxx>

The --time-filter option is for limiting samples within a range of
time.  A time range looks like <time1>-<time2> and at most one of them
can be omitted.  This can be useful when analyzing a part of a huge
data only.
