perf report: Compare symbol name for inlined frames when sorting

Similar to the callstack frame matching, we also have to compare the
symbol name when sorting hist entries. The reason is twofold: On one
hand, multiple inlined functions will use the same symbol start/end
values of the parent, non-inlined symbol.

As such, all of these symbols often end up missing from top-level
report, as they get merged with the non-inlined frame. On the other
hand, multiple different functions may end up inlining the same
function, and we need to aggregate these values properly.

Before:

~~~~~
  perf report --stdio --inline -g none
  # Children     Self  Command       Shared Object Symbol
  # ........ ........  ............  ............. ...................................
