perf tools: Try to show pretty printed output for dynamic sort keys

Each tracepoint event has format string for print to improve
readability.  Try to parse the output and match the field name.  If it
finds one, use that for the result.  If not, fallbacks to the original
output.

For example, sort on kmem:kmalloc.gfp_flags looks like below:
(Note: libtraceevent plugins are not installed on my system.  They might
affect the output below)

Before:
  # Overhead  Command   gfp_flags
  # ........  .......  ..........
  #
      99.89%  perf          32848
       0.06%  sleep           208
       0.03%  perf          32976
       0.01%  perf            208

After:
  # Overhead  Command            gfp_flags
  # ........  .......  ...................
  #
      99.89%  perf       GFP_NOFS|GFP_ZERO
       0.06%  sleep             GFP_KERNEL
       0.03%  perf     GFP_KERNEL|GFP_ZERO
       0.01%  perf              GFP_KERNEL
