This set introduces perf-stat -b option to count events for BPF programs.
This is similar to bpftool-prog-profile. But perf-stat makes it much more
flexible.

Sending as RFC because I haven't addressed some known limitations:
  1. Only counting events for one BPF program at a time.
  2. Need extra logic in target__validate().

Changes RFCv1 => RFCv2:
  1. Use bootstrap version of bpftool. (Jiri)
  2. Set default to not building bpf skeletons. (Jiri)
  3. Remove util/bpf_skel/Makefile, keep all the logic in Makefile.perf.
     (Jiri)
  4. Remove dependency to vmlinux.h in the two skeletons. The goal here is
     to enable building perf without building kernel (vmlinux) first.
     Note: I also removed the logic that build vmlinux.h. We can add that
     back when we have to use it (to access big kernel structures).
