perf tools: Add OCaml demangling

Detect symbols generated by the OCaml compiler based on their prefix.

Demangle OCaml symbols, returning a newly allocated string (like the
existing Java demangling functionality).

Move a helper function (hex) from tests/code-reading.c to util/string.c

To test:

  echo 'Printf.printf "%d\n" (Random.int 42)' > test.ml
  perf record ocamlopt.opt test.ml
  perf report -d ocamlopt.opt
