perf tools: Add example call-graph script

Add a script to produce a call-graph from data exported to a postgresql
database and derived from a processor trace event like intel_pt or intel_bts.

Refer to comments in the scripts call-graph-from-postgresql.py and
export-to-postgresql.py for more details on how to set up the environment,
install the required packages, etc.

Committer note:

From the scripts, for convenience while reading 'git log':

  An example of using this script with Intel PT:

  $ perf record -e intel_pt//u ls
  $ perf script -s ~/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py pt_example branches calls

  # The result is a GUI window with a tree representing a context-sensitive
  # call-graph.  Expanding a couple of levels of the tree and adjusting column
  # widths to suit will display something like:
