perf tools: Improve ambiguous option help message
Currently if an option name is ambiguous it only prints first two
matched option names but no help. It'd be better it could show all
possible names and help messages too.
Before:
$ perf report --show
Error: Ambiguous option: show (could be --show-total-period or
--show-ref-call-graph)
Usage: perf report [<options>]
After:
$ perf report --show
Error: Ambiguous option: show (could be --show-total-period or
--show-ref-call-graph)
Usage: perf report [<options>]
-n, --show-nr-samples
Show a column with the number of samples
--showcpuutilization
Show sample percentage for different cpu modes
-I, --show-info Display extended information about perf.data file
--show-total-period
Show a column with the sum of periods
--show-ref-call-graph
Show callgraph from reference event
