perf thread: Add a knob for LBR stitch approach
The LBR stitch approach should be disabled by default. Because - The stitching approach base on LBR call stack technology. The known limitations of LBR call stack technology still apply to the approach, e.g. Exception handing such as setjmp/longjmp will have calls/returns not match. - This approach is not foolproof. There can be cases where it creates incorrect call stacks from incorrect matches. There is no attempt to validate any matches in another way. The 'lbr_stitch_enable' is used to indicate whether enable LBR stitch approach, which is disabled by default. The following patch will introduce a new option for each tools to enable the LBR stitch approach.
