[PATCH 08/24] perf report/top TUI: Support hotkeys to let user select any event for sorting

From: Jin Yao <yao.jin@linux.intel.com>

When performing "perf report --group", it shows the event group information
together. In previous patch, we have supported a new option "--group-sort-idx"
to sort the output by the event at the index n in event group.

It would be nice if we can use a hotkey in browser to select a event
to sort.

For example,

# perf report --group

Samples: 12K of events 'cpu/instructions,period=2000003/, cpu/cpu-cycles,period=200003/, ...

When user press hotkey '3' (event index, starting from 0), it indicates
to sort output by the forth event in group.

v6:
---
Jiri provided a good improvement to eliminate unneeded refresh.
This improvement is added to v6.

v2:
---
1. Report warning at helpline when index is invalid.
2. Report warning at helpline when it's not group event.
3. Use "case '0' ... '9'" to refine the code
4. Split K_RELOAD implementation to another patch.
