perf trace: Make --(min,max}-stack imply "--call-graph dwarf"
If one uses:
# perf trace --min-stack 16
Then it implicitly means that callgraphs should be enabled, and the best
option in terms of widespread availability is "dwarf".
Further work needed to choose a better alternative, LBR, in capable
systems.
