bpftool: Add LLVM as default library for disassembling JIT-ed programs

To disassemble instructions for JIT-ed programs, bpftool has relied on
the libbfd library. This has been problematic in the past: libbfd's
interface is not meant to be stable and has changed several times. For
building bpftool, we have to detect how the libbfd version on the system
behaves, which is why we have to handle features disassembler-four-args
and disassembler-init-styled in the Makefile. When it comes to shipping
bpftool, this has also caused issues with several distribution
maintainers unwilling to support the feature (see for example Debian's
page for binutils-dev, which ships libbfd: "Note that building Debian
packages which depend on the shared libbfd is Not Allowed." [0]).

For these reasons, we add support for LLVM as an alternative to libbfd
for disassembling instructions of JIT-ed programs. Thanks to the
preparation work in the previous commits, it's easy to add the library
by passing the relevant compilation options in the Makefile, and by
adding the functions for setting up the LLVM disassembler in file
jit_disasm.c.

The LLVM disassembler requires the LLVM development package (usually
llvm-dev or llvm-devel).

The expectation is that the interface for this disassembler will be more
stable. There is a note in LLVM's Developer Policy [1] stating that the
stability for the C API is "best effort" and not guaranteed, but at
least there is some effort to keep compatibility when possible (which
hasn't really been the case for libbfd so far). Furthermore, the Debian
page for the related LLVM package does not caution against linking to
the lib, as binutils-dev page does.

Naturally, the display of disassembled instructions comes with a few
minor differences. Here is a sample output with libbfd (already
supported before this patch):

# bpftool prog dump jited id 56
bpf_prog_6deef7357e7b4530:
0: nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
5: xchg %ax,%ax
7: push %rbp
8: mov %rsp,%rbp
b: push %rbx
c: push %r13
e: push %r14
10: mov %rdi,%rbx
13: movzwq 0xb4(%rbx),%r13
1b: xor %r14d,%r14d
1e: or $0x2,%r14d
22: mov $0x1,%eax
27: cmp $0x2,%r14
2b: jne 0x000000000000002f
2d: xor %eax,%eax
2f: pop %r14
31: pop %r13
33: pop %rbx
34: leave
35: ret

LLVM supports several variants that we could set when initialising the
disassembler, for example with:

LLVMSetDisasmOptions(*ctx,
LLVMDisassembler_Option_AsmPrinterVariant);

but the default printer is used for now. Here is the output with LLVM:

# bpftool prog dump jited id 56
bpf_prog_6deef7357e7b4530:
0: nopl (%rax,%rax)
5: nop
7: pushq %rbp
8: movq %rsp, %rbp
b: pushq %rbx
c: pushq %r13
e: pushq %r14
10: movq %rdi, %rbx
13: movzwq 180(%rbx), %r13
1b: xorl %r14d, %r14d
1e: orl $2, %r14d
22: movl $1, %eax
27: cmpq $2, %r14
2b: jne 0x2f
2d: xorl %eax, %eax
2f: popq %r14
31: popq %r13
33: popq %rbx
34: leave
35: retq

The LLVM disassembler comes as the default choice, with libbfd as a
fall-back.

Of course, we could replace libbfd entirely and avoid supporting two
different libraries. One reason for keeping libbfd is that, right now,
it works well, we have all we need in terms of features detection in the
Makefile, so it provides a fallback for disassembling JIT-ed programs if
libbfd is installed but LLVM is not. The other motivation is that libbfd
supports nfp instruction for Netronome's SmartNICs and can be used to
disassemble offloaded programs, something that LLVM cannot do. If
libbfd's interface breaks again in the future, we might reconsider
keeping support for it.

bpftool: Group libbfd defs in Makefile, only pass them if we use libbfd

Bpftool uses libbfd for disassembling JIT-ed programs. But the feature
is optional, and the tool can be compiled without libbfd support. The
Makefile sets the relevant variables accordingly. It also sets variables
related to libbfd's interface, given that it has changed over time.

Group all those libbfd-related definitions so that it's easier to
understand what we are testing for, and only use variables related to
libbfd's interface if we need libbfd in the first place.

In addition to make the Makefile clearer, grouping the definitions
related to disassembling JIT-ed programs will help support alternatives
to libbfd.

Pull perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

- Introduce 'perf lock contention' subtool, using new lock contention
tracepoints and using BPF for in kernel aggregation and then
userspace processing using the perf tooling infrastructure for
resolving symbols, target specification, etc.

Since the new lock contention tracepoints don't provide lock names,
get up to 8 stack traces and display the first non-lock function
symbol name as a caller:

$ perf lock report -F acquired,contended,avg_wait,wait_total

Name acquired contended avg wait total wait

update_blocked_a... 40 40 3.61 us 144.45 us
kernfs_fop_open+... 5 5 3.64 us 18.18 us

tick_do_update_j... 1 1 6.04 us 6.04 us
ep_scan_ready_list 1 1 3.93 us 3.93 us

Supports the usual 'perf record' + 'perf report' workflow as well as
a BCC/bpftrace like mode where you start the tool and then press
control+C to get results:

$ sudo perf lock contention -b
^C
contended total wait max wait avg wait type caller

...

- Add new 'perf kwork' tool to trace time properties of kernel work
(such as softirq, and workqueue), uses eBPF skeletons to collect info
in kernel space, aggregating data that then gets processed by the
userspace tool, e.g.:
