[PATCH 5/8] perf tools: Get precise_ip from the pmu config

[Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>]

Getting precise_ip field from the perf_pmu::max_precise
config read from sysfs. If it's not available falling
back to current detection function.

This fixes perf c2c usage of 'P' modifier on memory events,
where the standard detection fails, because of way too many
new perf_event_attr features added recently.

Use PYTHON_MOD to distinguish python perf module build
to exclude pmu.o object call being compiled in. There's
the flex/bison (and other) object dependencies, that
we'd need to teach setup.py about.
