perf report: Support data type profiling

Enable type annotation when the 'type' sort key is used.

It shows type of variables the samples access at the moment.  Users can
see which types are accessed frequently.

  $ perf report -s dso,type --stdio

With the perf.data file collected in the previous cset:
