perf symbol: Add command line support for addr2line path
Allow addr2line to be set either on the command line or via the perfconfig file. This doesn't currently work with llvm-addr2line as the addr2line code emits two things: 1) the address to decode, 2) a bogus ',' value. The expectation is the bogus value will generate: ?? ??:0 that terminates the addr2line reading. However, the output from llvm-addr2line is a single line with just the input ',' locking up the addr2line reading that is expecting a second line.
