perf annotate: Add comment about annotated_src->nr_histograms

Browse source 
When we have multiple groups in an evlist, say:

  $ perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions},{cache-references,cache-misses}' sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

           343,134      cycles:u
           249,292      instructions:u            #    0.73  insn per cycle
            15,556      cache-references:u
             8,925      cache-misses:u            #   57.373 % of all cache refs

       1.000957550 seconds time elapsed

  $

Then the perf_evsel instances for the two group leaders ("cycles" and
"cache-references") will have evsel->nr_members set to 2, while all the
evsel->evlist->nr_entries will be set to 4, so we can't use
evsel->evlist->nr_entries everywhere, as event groups need to be taken
into account.

But this probably requires us to audit at least the forced-group code,
where we want all of the events to be in a "group", to see them all in
the screen, one column for each, even knowing that they were not
necessarily scheduled to count at the same time by the kernel perf
subsystem.
