Subject: [PATCH v1 00/13] Perf tool build improvements

Make the default build options a more preferred set, such as making
BPF skeletons default and failing the build if jevents or libtracevent
dependencies fail. The binutil dependencies are opt-in given license
restrictions. abi::__cxa_demangle demangling support is added so that
libiberty, from binutils, isn't necessary for C++ demangling.

Some build/test dependencies are fixed and the code cleaned up.

Ian Rogers (13):
  perf build: Support python/perf.so testing
  perf build: Make BUILD_BPF_SKEL default, rename to NO_BPF_SKEL
  perf build: Remove unused HAVE_GLIBC_SUPPORT
  perf build: Error if no libelf and NO_LIBELF isn't set
  perf util: Remove weak sched_getcpu
  perf build: Error if jevents won't work and NO_JEVENTS=1 isn't set
  perf build: Make binutil libraries opt in
  tools build: Add feature test for abi::__cxa_demangle
  perf symbol: Add abi::__cxa_demangle C++ demangling support
  perf build: Switch libpfm4 to opt-out rather than opt-in
  perf build: If libtraceevent isn't present error the build
  tools headers: Make the difference output easier to read
  perf build: Remove redundant NO_NEWT build option
