perf ui stdio: No need to use 'spaces' to left align

We can just use the 'field width' for the %s used to print the
alignment, this way we'll get the same result without requiring having a
variable with just lots of space chars.

No way to do that for the dots tho, we still need that variable filled
with dot chars.

  # perf report --stdio --hierarchy > before
  # perf report --stdio --hierarchy > after
  # diff before after
  #

I.e. it continues as:

  # perf report --stdio --hierarchy | head -15
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
