perf test: Compile named_threads workload with -O0

The work loop relies on the compiler not optimizing it away, although
named_threads_work is not static for that reason, the compiler could
still do it.

Fix it by compiling without optimization. Also add -fno-inline for
consistency and in case anyone wants to look at callstacks.

perf test: Add named_threads workload

Add a workload that runs X threads that run a unique function named
"named_threads_thread[x]" which performs a multiplication in a loop for
Y loops. Each thread sets its name to "thread[x]".

This can be used to test that processor trace decoding handles
concurrent threads correctly and the correct symbols and thread names
are assigned to samples.

perf test: Remove /usr/bin/cc dependency from Intel PT shell test

In test_intel_pt.sh, the test script compiled two external C programs at
runtime using /usr/bin/cc (a thread loop workload and a JIT self-
modifying workload). Relying on external C compilers inside shell tests
frequently causes failures in continuous integration environments.

Create a built-in 'jitdump' workload and switch test_intel_pt.sh to use
'perf test -w thloop' and 'perf test -w jitdump'. Also add multi-
architecture compatibility without external C compiler dependencies, the
workload instruction arrays dynamically encode CHK_BYTE into opcodes
across x86, ARM32, ARM64, RISC-V, PowerPC, MIPS, LoongArch, and s390x.

Some minor include fixes for util/jitdump.h.

Committer notes:

It was agreed on the discussion (see Link below) to shorten then name of
the workload from 'landlock_add_rule' to 'landlock', and I moved it to a
separate patch.

Also, to address a build failure from Namhyung, I stopped loading
linux/landlock.h and instead added the used defines, enums and types to
make this build in older systems. All we want is to emit the syscall and
intercept it.

Explicitely ignored the sqrt() return to fix the build on systems where
the compiler complains it isn't being used.

And added a sqrtloop specific CFLAGS to disable optimizations to make
this a bit more robust wrt dead code elimination.

Doing that a -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE needs to be added, as -O0 is incompatible
