perf symbols: Add Rust demangling

Rust demangling is another step after bfd demangling. Add a diagnosis to
identify mangled Rust symbols based on the hash that the Rust mangler appends
as the last path component, as well as other characteristics.  Add a demangler
to reconstruct the original symbol.

Committer notes:

How I tested it:

Enabled COPR on Fedora 24 and then installed the 'rust-binary' package,
with it:

  $ cat src/main.rs
  fn main() {
      println!("Hello, world!");
  }
  $ cat Cargo.toml
  [package]

  name = "hello_world"
  version = "0.0.1"
  authors = [ "Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org>" ]

  $ perf record cargo bench
   Compiling hello_world v0.0.1 (file:///home/acme/projects/hello_world)
     Running target/release/hello_world-d4b9dab4b2a47d75

  running 0 tests

  test result: ok. 0 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured

  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.096 MB perf.data (1457 samples) ]
