eu-stacktrace WIP: command line args

eu-stacktrace is (will be) a utility to process a stream of stack
samples (such as those obtained from PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE) into a stream
of stack traces (such as those obtained from PERF_EVENT_CALLCHAIN),
freeing various profiling utilities from having to implement their own
backtracing logic.
