  perf tui: Add help window to show key associations
  perf tui: Make <- exit menus too
  perf newt: Add single key shortcuts for zoom into DSO and threads
  perf newt: Exit browser unconditionally when CTRL+C, q or Q is pressed
  perf newt: Fix the 'A'/'a' shortcut for annotate
  perf newt: Make <- exit the ui_browser
  x86, perf: P4 PMU - fix counters management logic
