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.

That's really funny.

Some inconvenience:

1. Tip is never change during one execution of 'perf report', even if
I switch to another view using 'enter' and switch back. It should better
if tips updated when redrawing.

2. I think add a "Tip: " prefix to the content should be better, or users may
confuse what he/her doing causes this message

3. What about creating a tools/perf/Documentation/tips.txt and generate tips
table dynamically?

Thank you.
