Subject: [RFC PATCH v8 44/49] perf tools: Add BPF_PROLOGUE config options for further patches

If both LIBBPF and DWARF is detected, it is possible to create prologue
for eBPF programs to help them accessing kernel data. HAVE_BPF_PROLOGUE
and CONFIG_BPF_PROLOGUE is added as flags for this feature.

PERF_HAVE_ARCH_GET_REG_OFFSET indicates an architecture supports
converting name of a register to its offset in 'struct pt_regs'.
Without this support, BPF_PROLOGUE should be turned off.
