Subject: [PATCH v4 5/6] perf: Support perf -vv

We keep having bug reports that when users build perf on their own,
but they don't install some needed libraries such as libelf,
libbfd/libibery.

The perf can build, but it is missing important functionality.

This patch provides a new option '-vv' for perf which will
print the compiled-in status of libraries.

The 'perf -vv' is mapped to 'perf version --build-options'.

For example:

$ ./perf -vv

perf version 4.13.rc5.g6727c5

v3:
---
One bug is found in v2. It didn't process the option like '-vabc'
correctly. Fix this bug.

v2:
---
Use a global variable version_verbose to record the number of 'v'.
