perf annotate: Handle samples not at objdump output addr boundaries



Without this patch we get this for need_resched:

[root@mica ~]# perf annotate need_resched

But from the 'perf report' result we know that there are hits
for need_resched on a 4 way machine mostly doing nothing, so
after adding code to show what is in each hist offset and
collapsing IP hits for what happens between objdump lines we
get, for the same perf.data file:

And now 'perf annotate -v', verbose mode, will show the hits per
precise IP, so that one can make sense of the attribution to
each objdumop line:

[root@mica ~]# perf annotate -v need_resched
