hi,
here it is.. not fully tested, no doc updates, dont want
to go too far before we agreed on this ;-)

thanks for comments,

The callchain option is now used only to enable
callchains. By default it's framepointer type.

If dwarf unwind is needed, following option needs
to be added into .perfconfig:

for top command:
[top]
call-graph = dwarf,8192

for record command:
[record]
call-graph = dwarf,8192

running perf with above config like this:
perf record -g ls
perf top -G

will enable dwarf unwind. The config file option
by itself does not enable the callchain, the -g/-G
option does.

TODO: doc/help needs to be updated
