ftrace: add a script to produce a hierarchical view of a function trace

This script parses a function trace and then produces a hierarchical
view of the function call stack after processing it into a tree.

Changes on V2 thanks to the trace sent by Steven:

- Support both the files "trace" and "trace_pipe" (comments and space
  differences)

- Correct the mini HOW-TO at the beginning.

This script parses a trace provided by the function tracer in
kernel/trace/trace_functions.c
The resulted trace is processed into a tree to produce a more human
view of the call stack by drawing textual but hierarchical tree of
calls. Only the functions's names and the the call time are provided.
Usage:
Be sure that you have CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER
# mkdir /debugfs
# mount -t debug debug /debug
# echo function > /debug/tracing/current_tracer
$ cat /debug/tracing/trace_pipe > ~/raw_trace_func
Wait some times but not too much, the script is a bit slow.
Break the pipe (Ctrl + Z)
$ scripts/draw_functrace.py < raw_trace_func > draw_functrace
Then you have your drawn trace in draw_functrace
