perf report: Show random usage tip on the help line
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.
Load tips from ${prefix}/share/doc/perf-tip/tips.txt file.

[ Renamed it to perf_tip() and the parameter dirname to dirpath to fix the build on older distros ]
