perf tools: Move elide bool into perf_hpp_fmt struct

After output/sort fields refactoring, it's expensive
to check the elide bool in its current location inside
the 'struct sort_entry'.

The perf_hpp__should_skip function gets highly noticable in
workloads with high number of output/sort fields, like for:

  $ perf report -i perf-test.data -F overhead,sample,period,comm,pid,dso,symbol,cpu --stdio

Performance report:
   9.70%  perf  [.] perf_hpp__should_skip

Moving the elide bool into the 'struct perf_hpp_fmt', which
makes the perf_hpp__should_skip just single struct read.

Got speedup of around 22% for my test perf.data workload.
The change should not harm any other workload types.

Performance counter stats for (10 runs):
  before:
   358,319,732,626      cycles                    ( +-  0.55% )
   467,129,581,515      instructions              #    1.30  insns per cycle          ( +-  0.00% )

     150.943975206 seconds time elapsed           ( +-  0.62% )

  now:
   278,785,972,990      cycles                    ( +-  0.12% )
   370,146,797,640      instructions              #    1.33  insns per cycle          ( +-  0.00% )

     116.416670507 seconds time elapsed           ( +-  0.31% )
