perf script: Support relative time
When comparing time stamps in 'perf script' traces it can be annoying to work with the full perf time stamps. Add a --reltime option that displays time stamps relative to the trace start to make it easier to read the traces. Note: not currently supported for --time. Report an error in this case.
