By default, this now causes ignore/hide events through the Web UI to
recompute percentages.
This allows you to filter out parts of the program that aren't relevant
to what you're measuring, such as __psynch_cvwait in a single-threaded
program.
However, sometimes users may simply be using ignore/hide to get a
"cleaner" view of their data, but very much don't want filtering the
view to affect the underlying data. In that case, users can disable
this feature via ui_relative_percentages=false
I called the flag ui_relative_percentages instead of relative_percentages, because it is only meaningful if opening the web ui, not when just generating a .pb.gz dump.
