[PATCH v2 2/3] perf report: Support a new key to reload the browser

From: Jin Yao
Date: Wed Dec 11 2019 - 02:31:21 EST


Sometimes we may need to reload the browser to update the output since
some options are changed.

This patch creates a new key K_RELOAD. Once the __cmd_report() returns
K_RELOAD, it would repeat the whole process, such as, read samples from
data file, sort the data and display in the browser.

v2:

This is a new patch created in v2.
