Subject: [PATCH v3 0/8] tools: fix compilation failure caused by init_disassemble_info API changes

binutils changed the signature of init_disassemble_info(), which now causes
compilation failures for tools/{perf,bpf} on e.g. debian unstable. Relevant
binutils commit:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=60a3da00bd5407f07

I first fixed this without introducing the compat header, as suggested by
Quentin, but I thought the amount of repeated boilerplate was a bit too
much. So instead I introduced a compat header to wrap the API changes. Even
tools/bpf/bpftool/jit_disasm.c, which needs its own callbacks for json, imo
looks nicer this way.

I'm not regular contributor, so it very well might be my procedures are a
bit off...

I am not sure I added the right [number of] people to CC?

WRT the feature test: Not sure what the point of the -DPACKAGE='"perf"' is,
nor why tools/perf/Makefile.config sets some LDFLAGS/CFLAGS that are also
in feature/Makefile and why -ldl isn't needed in the other places. But...

V2:
- split patches further, so that tools/bpf and tools/perf part are entirely
  separate
- included a bit more information about tests I did in commit messages
- add a maybe_unused to fprintf_json_styled's style argument

V3:
- don't include dis-asm-compat.h when building without libbfd
  (Ben Hutchings)
- don't include compiler.h in dis-asm-compat.h, use (void) casts instead,
  to avoid compiler.h include due to potential licensing conflict
- dual-license dis-asm-compat.h, for better compatibility with the rest of
  bpftool's code (suggested by Quentin Monnet)
- don't display feature-disassembler-init-styled test
  (suggested by Jiri Olsa)
- don't display feature-disassembler-four-args test, I split this for the
  different subsystems, but maybe that's overkill? (suggested by Jiri Olsa)
