perf report: Add 'tgid' sort key

Sometimes we need to analyze the data in process level but current sort
keys only work on thread level.  Let's add 'tgid' sort key for that as
'pid' is already taken for thread.

This will look mostly the same, but it only uses tgid instead of tid.
Here's an example of a process with two threads (thloop).

  $ perf record -- perf test -w thloop

  $ perf report --stdio -s tgid,pid -H
  ...
  #
  #    Overhead  Tgid:Command / Pid:Command
  # ...........  ..........................
