perf scripts python cs-etm: Improve arguments

Make vmlinux detection automatic and use Perf's default objdump
when -d is specified. This will make it easier for a test to use the
script without having to provide arguments. And similarly for users.

 # Below are some example commands for using this script.
+# Note a --kcore recording is required for accurate decode
