This patch enables perf-diff with "--stream" option.
"--stream": Enable hot streams comparison
Now let's see examples.
perf record -b ... Generate perf.data.old with branch data
perf record -b ... Generate perf.data with branch data
perf diff --stream

v5:
- Remove enum stream_type
- Rebase to perf/core
v4:
- Remove the "--before" and "--after" options since they are for
source line based comparison. In this patchset, we will not
support source line based comparison.
