perf probe: Detect probe target when m/x options are absent

Browse source 
Options -m and -x explicitly allow tracing of modules / user space
binaries. In absense of these options, check if the first argument can
be used as a target.

perf probe /bin/zsh zfree is equivalent to perf probe -x /bin/zsh zfree.

Specify path to the executable or shared library file for user
space tracing. Can also be used with --funcs option.
In absence of -m/-x options, perf probe checks if the first argument after
the options is an absolute path name. If its an absolute path, perf probe
uses it as a target module/target user space binary to probe.
