[RFC PATCH v2 4/7] tools: build perf in tools_build

[Sasha Levin]

Add CONFIG_TOOLS_BUILD_PERF. perf is built as it is built standalone,
with optional features enabled when their libraries are installed, and
with perf's WERROR setting following CONFIG_WERROR. The feature table is
left out of the kernel build log.

CONFIG_TOOLS_BUILD_PERF_MINIMAL builds it with MINIMAL=1 instead, which
turns every optional feature off, so the result does not depend on the
build machine. allmodconfig and allyesconfig turn it on.
