Subject: [PATCH 0/4] Introduce perf build subcommand

The Problem
===========

Currently the presence of a feature is checked with a combination of
perf version --build-options and greps, such as:

    perf version --build-options | grep " on .* HAVE_FEATURE"

Proposed solution
=================

As suggested by contributors in:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/ZMPWk5K63tadmDlU@kernel.org/

Introduce a subcommand "perf build --has", with which
scripts can test for presence of a feature, such as:

    perf build --has HAVE_FEATURE

The usage of "perf version --build-options | grep" has been replaced in two
tests, with "perf build --has" command

Also, to not duplicate the same feature list at multiple places, a new global
'supported_features' array has been introduced in builtin.h, so both commands
'perf build --has' and 'perf version --build-options' use the same array

'supported_features' feature is an array of 'struct feature_support', which
also has the name of the feature, macro used to test it's presence, and a
is_builtin member, which will be 0 if feature not built-in, and 1 if built-in

Architectures Tested
====================
* x86_64
* ppc64le
