perf tools: Add 'perf -vv' as an alias to 'perf version --build-options'



We keep having bug reports that when users build perf on their own, but
they don't install some needed libraries such as libelf,
libbfd/libibery.

The perf can build, but it is missing important functionality.

This patch provides a new option '-vv' for perf which will print the
compiled-in status of libraries.

The 'perf -vv' is mapped to 'perf version --build-options'.

For example:

$ ./perf -vv

perf version 4.13.rc5.g6727c5
                 dwarf: [ on  ]  # HAVE_DWARF_SUPPORT
    dwarf_getlocations: [ on  ]  # HAVE_DWARF_GETLOCATIONS_SUPPORT
                 glibc: [ on  ]  # HAVE_GLIBC_SUPPORT
                  gtk2: [ on  ]  # HAVE_GTK2_SUPPORT
              libaudit: [ OFF ]  # HAVE_LIBAUDIT_SUPPORT
                libbfd: [ on  ]  # HAVE_LIBBFD_SUPPORT
                libelf: [ on  ]  # HAVE_LIBELF_SUPPORT
               libnuma: [ on  ]  # HAVE_LIBNUMA_SUPPORT
numa_num_possible_cpus: [ on  ]  # HAVE_LIBNUMA_SUPPORT
               libperl: [ on  ]  # HAVE_LIBPERL_SUPPORT
             libpython: [ on  ]  # HAVE_LIBPYTHON_SUPPORT
              libslang: [ on  ]  # HAVE_SLANG_SUPPORT
             libcrypto: [ on  ]  # HAVE_LIBCRYPTO_SUPPORT
             libunwind: [ on  ]  # HAVE_LIBUNWIND_SUPPORT
    libdw-dwarf-unwind: [ on  ]  # HAVE_DWARF_SUPPORT
                  zlib: [ on  ]  # HAVE_ZLIB_SUPPORT
                  lzma: [ on  ]  # HAVE_LZMA_SUPPORT
             get_cpuid: [ on  ]  # HAVE_AUXTRACE_SUPPORT
                   bpf: [ on  ]  # HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT

v3:

One bug is found in v2. It didn't process the option like '-vabc'
correctly. Fix this bug.

v2:

Use a global variable version_verbose to record the number of 'v'.
