perf config: Add '--system' and '--user' options to select which config file is used

The '--system' option means $(sysconfdir)/perfconfig and '--user' means
$HOME/.perfconfig. If none is used, both system and user config file are
read.  E.g.:

    # perf config [<file-option>] [options]

    With an specific config file:

    # perf config --user | --system

    or both user and system config file:

    # perf config

 The file '$(sysconfdir)/perfconfig' can be used to

+When reading or writing, the values are read from the system and user
+configuration files by default, and options '--system' and '--user'
