scripts: add stackdelta script

Browse source 
This adds a simple perl script for reading two files as produced by
the stackusage script and computing the changes in stack usage. For
example:

$ scripts/stackusage -o /tmp/old.su CC=gcc-4.7 -j8 fs/ext4/
$ scripts/stackusage -o /tmp/new.su CC=gcc-5.0 -j8 fs/ext4/
$ scripts/stackdelta /tmp/{old,new}.su | sort -k5,5g

shows that gcc 5.0 generally produces less stack-hungry code than gcc
4.7. Obviously, the script can also be used for measuring the effect
of commits, .config tweaks or whatnot.

# Read two files produced by the stackusage script, and show the
# delta between them.
#
# Currently, only shows changes for functions listed in both files. We
# could add an option to show also functions which have vanished or
# appeared (which would often be due to gcc making other inlining
# decisions).
#
# Another possible option would be a minimum absolute value for the
# delta.
#
# A third possibility is for sorting by delta, but that can be
# achieved by piping to sort -k5,5g.

# Old versions of gcc (at least 4.7) have an annoying quirk in
# that a (static) function whose name has been changed into
# for example ext4_find_unwritten_pgoff.isra.11 will show up
# in the .su file with a name of just "11". Since such a
# numeric suffix is likely to change across different
# commits/compilers/.configs or whatever else we're trying to
# tweak, we can't really track those functions, so we just
# silently skip them.
#
# Newer gcc (at least 5.0) report the full name, so again,
# since the suffix is likely to change, we strip it.
