perf report: Add 'type' sort key

The 'type' sort key is to aggregate hist entries by data type they
access.  Add mem_type field to hist_entry struct to save the type.  If
hist_entry__get_data_type() returns NULL, it'd use the 'unknown_type'
instance.

Committer testing:

Before:

  # perf mem record  sleep 2s
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.037 MB perf.data (4 samples) ]
  root@number:/home/acme/Downloads# perf report --stdio -s type
  Error:
  Unknown --sort key: `type'
