perf annotate browser: Add 'P' hotkey to dump annotation to file
Just like we have in the histograms browser used as the main screen for
'perf top --tui' and 'perf report --tui', to print the current
annotation to a file with a named composed by the symbol name and the
".annotation" suffix.
Here is one example of pressing 'A' on 'perf top' to live annotate a
kernel function and then press 'P' to dump that annotation, the
resulting file:
# cat _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.annotation
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave() /proc/kcore
