perf tools: Fix documentation of verbose options

Option doesn't take a value, make sure the man pages agree. For example:

$ perf evlist --verbose=1
Error: option `verbose' takes no value

perf tools: Correct title markers for asciidoctor

I've tested to process the perf man pages with asciidoctor that is
picker than asciidoc, and it revealed minor syntax errors in some
documents. Namely, the title markers aren't aligned with the previous
line, hence asciidoctor didn't recognize as titles.

This patch corrects these markers to be processed properly.

perf kallsyms: Fix the usage on the man page

First, all man pages highlight only perf and subcommands except 'perf
kallsyms', which includes the full usage. Fix it for commands to
monopolize underlines.

Second, options can be ommited when executing 'perf kallsyms', so add
square brackets between <option>.

perf kallsyms: Introduce tool to look for extended symbol information on the running kernel

Its similar to doing grep on a /proc/kallsyms, but it also shows extra
information like the path to the kernel module and the unrelocated
addresses in it, to help in diagnosing problems.

It is also helps demonstrate the use of the symbols routines so that
tool writers can use them more effectively.

Using it:

$ perf kallsyms e1000_xmit_frame netif_rx usb_stor_set_xfer_buf
e1000_xmit_frame: [e1000e] /lib/modules/4.9.0+/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/e1000e.ko 0xffffffffc046fc10-0xffffffffc0470bb0 (0x19c80-0x1ac20)
netif_rx: [kernel] [kernel.kallsyms] 0xffffffff916f03a0-0xffffffff916f0410 (0xffffffff916f03a0-0xffffffff916f0410)
usb_stor_set_xfer_buf: [usb_storage] /lib/modules/4.9.0+/kernel/drivers/usb/storage/usb-storage.ko 0xffffffffc057aea0-0xffffffffc057af19 (0xf10-0xf89)
