perf script: Add --max-stack knob

Works just like with 'perf report'. In some cases we may want to have
more than 127 entries, the default maximum.

 --full-source-path::
        Show the full path for source files for srcline output.
 
+--max-stack::
+        Set the stack depth limit when parsing the callchain, anything
+        beyond the specified depth will be ignored. This is a trade-off
+        between information loss and faster processing especially for
+        workloads that can have a very long callchain stack.
+        Note that when using the --itrace option the synthesized callchain size
+        will override this value if the synthesized callchain size is bigger.

+        Default: 127

 --ns::
        Use 9 decimal places when displaying time (i.e. show the nanoseconds)
