perf_counter tools: Various fixes for callchains

The symbol resolving has of course revealed some bugs in the
callchain tree handling. This patch fixes some of them,
including:

- inherit the children from the parents while splitting a node
- fix list range moving
- fix indexes setting in callchains
- create a child on the current node if the path doesn't match in
  the existent children (was only done on the root)
- compare using symbols when possible so that we can match a function
  using any ip inside by referring to its start address.

The practical effects are:

- remove double callchains
- fix upside down or any random order of callchains
- fix wrong paths
- fix bad hits and percentage accounts
