perf symbol: Add command line support for addr2line path

Allow addr2line to be set either on the command line or via the
perfconfig file. This doesn't currently work with llvm-addr2line as
the addr2line code emits two things:
1) the address to decode,
2) a bogus ',' value.
The expectation is the bogus value will generate:
??
??:0
that terminates the addr2line reading. However, the output from
llvm-addr2line is a single line with just the input ',' locking up the
addr2line reading that is expecting a second line.
