Subject[PATCH 4/6] perf report: hint .perfconfig error when invalid sorting key
Date
My fat-fingering of sort keys in .perfconfig was a common cause of
perf report silently terminating without apparent error.

This was because 1) error in setup_sorting in cmd_report was ignored
and 2) no message was log in UI browser that would prevent UI from
exit before user prompt. Fix both.
