perf ftrace latency: Introduce --min-latency to narrow down into a latency range
Things below and over will be in the first and last, outlier, buckets.
Without it:
# perf ftrace latency --use-nsec --use-bpf \
--bucket-range=200 \
-T switch_mm_irqs_off -a sleep 2

Now we want focus on the latencies starting at 1.2us, with a finer
grained range of 20ns:
This is all on a live system, so statistically interesting, but not
narrowing down on the same numbers, so a 'perf ftrace latency record'
seems interesting to then use all on the same snapshot of latencies.
A --max-latency counterpart should come next, at first limiting the
max-latency to 20 * bucket-size, as we have a fixed buckets array with
20 + 2 entries (+ for the outliers) and thus would need to make it
larger for higher latencies.
We also may need a way to ask for not considering the out of range
values (first and last buckets) when drawing the buckets bars.
