FR: add navigation history "back" / "forward" + navigation "up" (similar to kcachegrind)

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. After a lot of working with callgrind reports (because of missing perf counters) in kcachegrind I came back to Hotspot. The thing I miss most (maybe it is already available?) is its navigation options (this issue may be split to move "up" away).

Describe the solution you'd like Similar navigation options to kcachegrind, ideally using the same UI where possible: Menu item "&Go" with sub-menus "&Up [ALT+up]"+"&Forward [ALT+right]"+"&Backward [ALT+left]", ideally with sub-items as data is available.

Describe alternatives you've considered For the history: Try to remember the last N places I've looked at, then click around to reach that. This is what I do, but I recognize that I both "click wrong", "remember wrong" and am just slower with the mouse than using the keyboard. For "up": go to caller/callee view, look out for the symbol interested in, then double-click on the caller with the highest cost.
