perf tools: Allow sorting by symbol size

Add new sort key 'symbol_size' to allow user to sort by symbol size, or
(more usefully) display the symbol size using --fields=...,symbol_size.

Committer note:

Testing it together with the recently added -q, to remove the headers,
and using the '+' sign with -s, to add the symbol_size sort order to
the default, which is '-s/--sort comm,dso,symbol':
