perf report: Show random usage tip on the help line

Browse source 
Currently perf report only shows a help message "For a higher level
overview, try: perf report --sort comm,dso" unconditionally (even if
the sort keys were used).  Add more help tips and show randomly.

Load tips from ${prefix}/share/doc/perf-tip/tips.txt file.

  $ perf report | tail
      0.10%  swapper  [kernel.vmlinux]   [k] irq_exit
      0.09%  swapper  [kernel.vmlinux]   [k] flush_smp_call_function_queue
      0.08%  swapper  [kernel.vmlinux]   [k] native_write_msr_safe
      0.03%  swapper  [kernel.vmlinux]   [k] group_sched_in
