hi,
this patchset tries to add support provide own allocation
zalloc/free methods for hist_entry object.

v2 changes:
  - merged patch 1 and 2 from RFC

The reason is to provide a way to be able to store more
data within hist_entry object in a transparent way to
its current usage by allocating its own hist_entry sub
object.

The user/app which wants to allocate its own hist_entry
sub object provides following ops struct:

  struct hist_entry_ops *ops {
    void*   (*new)(size_t);
    void    (*free)(void *);
  }

via new interface function:

  struct hist_entry *
  hists__add_entry_ops(struct hists *hists,
                       struct hist_entry_ops *ops,
                       ...

I'm using this for c2c code to enlarge hist_entry object
with large stats structure, which has no use to standard
perf usage/commands.

It might be used to lower the hist_entry footproint for
default perf usage by uing this for things like hierarchy
output that adds extra stuff into hist_entry object.

thanks,
jirka
