perf report: Document +field style argument support for --field option

Commit 2f3f9bcf000b ("perf tools: Add +field argument support for
--field option") by Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> introduced +field style
argument support for --field option.

This is useful but not updated documentation.  This add a little
description there.
