[PATCH 03/19] perf, sort: Allow unique sorting instead of combining hist_entries

[Don Zickus]

The cache contention tools needs to keep all the perf records unique in order
to properly parse all the data.  Currently add_hist_entry() will combine
the duplicate record and add the weight/period to the existing record.

This throws away the unique data the cache contention tool needs (mainly
the data source).  Create a flag to force the records to stay unique.
