[PATCH v9 8/9] perf config: normalize a value depending on default type of it

[Taeung Song <treeze.taeung@gmail.com>]

Whether or not user mis-type wrong data type to set config,
normalize the value. If a config user enter isn't contained
in default configs, just pass as it is.
For the examples,

   # perf config report.queue-size=1M
   # perf config report.queue-size
   report.queue-size=1048576
