Subject: [PATCH 3/8] perf test: Use a test program in perf record tests

If the system has cc it could build a test program with two threads
and then use it for more detailed testing.  Also it accepts an option
to run a thread forever to ensure multi-thread runs.

If cc is not found, it falls back to use the default value 'true'.
