perf diff: Support hot streams comparison

This patch enables perf-diff with "--stream" option.

"--stream": Enable hot streams comparison

Now let's see example.

perf record -b ...      Generate perf.data.old with branch data
perf record -b ...      Generate perf.data with branch data
perf diff --stream
