perf tools: Disable kernel symbol demangling by default
Some Linux symbols (for example __vt_event_wait) are interpreted by the demangler as C++ mangled names, which of course they aren't. Disable kernel symbol demangling by default to avoid this, and allow enabling it with a new option --demangle-kernel for those who wish it.
