perf script: Add --insn-trace for instruction decoding
Add a --insn-trace short hand option for decoding and disassembling
instruction streams for intel_pt. This automatically pipes the output
into the xed disassembler to generate disassembled instructions. This
just makes this use model much nicer to use.
