perf annotate: Introduce --ignore-vmlinux command line option
This is already present in 'perf top', albeit undocumented (will fix),
and is useful to use /proc/kcore instead of vmlinux and then get what is
really in place, not what the kernel starts with, before alternatives,
ftrace .text patching, etc, see the differences:
# perf annotate --stdio2 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave() /lib/modules/4.16.0-rc4/build/vmlinux
Event: anon group { cycles, instructions }
0.00 3.17 → callq __fentry__
0.00 7.94 push %rbx
7.69 36.51 → callq __page_file_index
mov %rax,%rbx
7.69 3.17 → callq *ffffffff82225cd0
xor %eax,%eax

This should be further streamlined by doing both annotations and
allowing the TUI to toggle initial/current, and show the patched
instructions in a slightly different color.
