rtla/timerlat_hist: Add auto-analysis support
Add auto-analysis to timerlat hist, including the --no-aa option to reduce overhead and --dump-task. --aa-only was not added as it is already on timerlat top.

EXAMPLE
=======
In the example below, **rtla timerlat hist** is set to run for *10* minutes,
in the cpus *0-4*, *skipping zero* only lines. Moreover, **rtla timerlat
hist** will change the priority of the *timerlat* threads to run under
*SCHED_DEADLINE* priority, with a *10us* runtime every *1ms* period. The
-*1ms* period is also passed to the *timerlat* tracer::
+*1ms* period is also passed to the *timerlat* tracer. Auto-analysis is disabled
+to reduce overhead ::
- [root@alien ~]# timerlat hist -d 10m -c 0-4 -P d:100us:1ms -p 1ms
+ [root@alien ~]# timerlat hist -d 10m -c 0-4 -P d:100us:1ms -p 1ms --no-aa
