I don't think use macros to distinguish OpenCSD version number is a
good idea, this will get more and more code to checking version number
if later have more these kinds improvement and finally it's hard to
maintain.

Sugget just simply add the new case for
OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_I_RANGE_NOPATH, considering if user uses an old version
OpenCSD and doesn't output this new element, the new added case doesn't
introduce issue for old OpenCSD lib.

Futhermore, suggest to change the code in
tools/build/feature/test-libopencsd.c, so can reflect the kernel 5.7
to require OpenCSD v0.14.0 or later version when build perf.

Thanks,
Leo
