perf trace: Allow asking for not suppressing common string prefixes

So far we've been suppressing common stuff such as "MAP_" in the mmap
flags, showing "SHARED" instead of "MAP_SHARED", allow for those
prefixes (and a few suffixes) to be shown:

  # trace -e *map,open*,*seek sleep 1

  mmap(0, 109093, READ, PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0x7ff61c695000
