tools: power: pm-graph: AnalyzeBoot v2.0

First release into the kernel tools source
- pulls in analyze_suspend.py as as library, same html formatting
- supplants scripts/bootgraph.pl, outputs HTML instead of SVG
- enables automatic reboot and collection for easy timeline capture
- enables ftrace callgraph collection from early boot
