[RFC PATCH 5/6] perf cs-etm: Improve Coresight zero timestamp warning

[James Clark]

Only show the warning if the user hasn't already set timeless mode and
improve the text because there was ambiguity around the meaning of '...'

Change the warning to a UI warning instead of printing straight to
stderr because this corrupts the UI when perf report TUI is used. The UI
warning function also handles printing to stderr when in perf script
mode.
