perf report: Improve error msg when no first/last sample time found
The following message will be returned to user when executing
'perf report --time' if perf data file doesn't contain the
first/last sample time.
"HINT: no first/last sample time found in perf data.
Please use latest perf binary to execute 'perf record'
(if '--buildid-all' is enabled, needs to set '--timestamp-boundary')."
