Add a new feature named 'perf-scripting'. Adding this into the
PERF_FEATURES variable in perf.inc will enable perf scripting on a
target, which will turn on all the language bindings currently
available in perf (Perl and Python), if perf is included in an image.
If 'perf-scripting' isn't named as a feature (the default), all perf
language bindings will be disabled and unavailable.

Add a perf.inc to contain utility functions and definitions and to
avoid cluttering up the main recipe.

This shouldn't be unconditional - a later patch made it so, but that's
not yet pulled in. In the meantime, to fix build failures remove the
unconditional install.

libexec/perf-core contains all the pre-canned scripts and modules
needed by both the Perl and Python bindigs. Add libexec/perf-core
along with all the pre-defined perf scripts underneath it.

Add support to enable the perf Perl binding.
The build depends on perl-native to retrieve the configuration
settings needed for the binding. cpan-base adds some useful functions
like is_target() and get_perl_version() that we need for
PERLCONFIGTARGET and related settings, which allow us to use the
target's Config_heavy.pl settings for ExtUtils:Embed when building for
the target.
Also adds the perl-modules dependency to give the target the perl
modules that scripts using the binding need.

Add support to enable the perf python bindings. The combination of
these changes and the changes in the python-config sections in the
kernel Makefile enable all the python bindings currently available in
perf.

perf has been coupled to the kernel packages via kernel.bbclass.
While maintaining the build of perf out of the kernel source tree
is desired the package coupling has proved to be awkward in
several situations such as:
- when a kernel recipe doesn't want to build/provide perf
- when licensing of dependencies would prohibit perf and hence
the kernel from being built.
To solve some of these problems, this recipe is the extraction of
the linux-tools.inc provided perf compilation into a standalone
perf recipe that builds out of the kernel source, but is otherwise
independent.
No new functionality is provided above what the linux-tools.inc
variant provided, but the separate recipe provides baseline for
adding new functionality.
