[PATCH v3 2/3] perf report: Support a new key to reload the browser

From: Jin Yao
Date: Thu Dec 12 2019 - 07:34:13 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.

v3:
---
No change.

v2:
---
This is a new patch created in v2.
