tools/bpftool: add perf subcommand

The new command "bpftool perf [show | list]" will traverse
all processes under /proc, and if any fd is associated
with a perf event, it will print out related perf event
information. Documentation is also added.

Below is an example to show the results using bcc commands.
Running the following 4 bcc commands:
  kprobe:     trace.py '__x64_sys_nanosleep'
  kretprobe:  trace.py 'r::__x64_sys_nanosleep'
  tracepoint: trace.py 't:syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep'
  uprobe:     trace.py 'p:/home/yhs/a.out:main'

The bpftool command line and result:

  $ bpftool perf
  pid 21711  fd 5: prog_id 5  kprobe  func __x64_sys_write  offset 0
  pid 21765  fd 5: prog_id 7  kretprobe  func __x64_sys_nanosleep  offset 0
  pid 21767  fd 5: prog_id 8  tracepoint  sys_enter_nanosleep
  pid 21800  fd 5: prog_id 9  uprobe  filename /home/yhs/a.out  offset 1159

  $ bpftool -j perf
