perf tools: Search for more options when passing args to -h
Recently 'perf <tool> -h' was made aware of arguments and would show just the help for the arguments specified, but that required a strict form, i.e.: $ perf -h --tui worked, but: $ perf -h tui didn't. Make it support both cases and also look at the option help when neither matches, so that he following examples works: $ perf report -h interface Usage: perf report [<options>] --gtk Use the GTK2 interface --stdio Use the stdio interface --tui Use the TUI interface $ perf report -h stack Usage: perf report [<options>] -g, --call-graph <print_type,threshold[,print_limit],order, sort_key[,branch]> Display call graph (stack chain/backtrace): print_type: call graph printing style (graph|flat|fractal|none) threshold: minimum call graph inclusion threshold (<percent>) print_limit: maximum number of call graph entry (<number>) order: call graph order (caller|callee) sort_key: call graph sort key (function|address) branch: include last branch info to call graph (branch) Default: graph,0.5,caller,function --max-stack <n> Set the maximum stack depth when parsing the callchain, anything beyond the specified depth will be ignored.
