There is no static counter of tips. MAX_TIPS is just maximum number
of tips. Number of tips in tips.txt file:
tools/perf$ wc -l Documentation/tips.txt
43 Documentation/tips.txt
By invoking strtok(..."\n") in a while loop we count how many tips do we have
and also save a pointer to corresponding tip in str[]
After we randomly pick up one of those tips (how it works previously).

nice, I had no idea ld could do it like this ;-)

I dont mind to keep static count of tips, but would be great
to have some check when there are more tips in the tips.txt
or perhaps pick tip with random index within the tips data size?
you would just do strtok until you reach the string that has the
random index inside.. you wouldn't need str pointers then
