We currently build perf-stat/record etc, only to do nothing
with them.  We also install the perf binary in two places,
$prefix/bin and $perfexec_instdir, which appears to be for
binaries which perf would exec were a command not linked in.
Correct this, and comment out broken/incomplete targets dist

This has also a nice side effect, tools built on newer systems such as
fedora 10 again work on systems with older versions of glibc:

My workstation:

[acme@doppio ~]$ rpm -q glibc.x86_64
glibc-2.9-3.x86_64

Test machine:

[acme@emilia ~]$ rpm -q glibc.x86_64
glibc-2.5-24

Before:

[acme@emilia ~]$ perf
perf: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by perf)
[acme@emilia ~]$ nm `which perf` | grep GLIBC_2\.7
                 U __isoc99_sscanf@@GLIBC_2.7
[acme@emilia ~]$

After:
[acme@emilia ~]$ perf
usage: perf [--version] [--help] COMMAND [ARGS]

The most commonly used perf commands are:
   record   Run a command and record its profile into perf.data
   report   Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display the
profile
   stat     Run a command and gather performance counter statistics
   top      Run a command and profile it

See 'perf help COMMAND' for more information on a specific command.

Import Git's nice .txt => {man/html/pdf} generation machinery.

Fix various errors in the Documentation/perf*.txt description as well.

Also fix a bug in builtin-help: we'd map 'perf help top' to 'perftop'
if only the 'perf' binary is in the default PATH - confusing the manpage
logic. I dont fully understand why Git did it this way - but i suppose
it's a migration artifact from their migration from standalone git-xyz
commands to 'git xyz' commands. The perf tools were always using the
modern form so it's not an issue there.

The glib dependency in kerneltop.c is only for a little bit of list
manipulation, and I find it inconvenient.  This adds a 'next' field to
struct source_line, which lets us link them together into a list.  The
code to do the linking ourselves turns out to be no longer or more
difficult than using glib.

This also fixes a few other problems:

- We need to #include <limits.h> to get PATH_MAX on powerpc.

- We need to #include <linux/types.h> rather than have our own
  definitions of __u64 and __s64; on powerpc the installed headers
  define them to be unsigned long and long respectively, and if we
  have our own, different definition here that causes a compile error.

- This takes out the x86 setting of errno from -ret in
  sys_perf_counter_open.  My experiments on x86 indicate that the
  glibc syscall() does this for us already.

- We had two CPU migration counters in the default set, which seems
  unnecessary; I changed one of them to a context switch counter.

- In perfstat mode we were printing CPU cycles and instructions as
  milliseconds, and the cpu clock and task clock counters as events.
  This fixes that.

- In perfstat mode we were still printing a blank line after the first
  counter, which was a holdover from when a task clock counter was
  automatically included as the first counter.  This removes the blank
  line.

- On a test machine here, parse_symbols() and parse_vmlinux() were
  taking long enough (almost 0.5 seconds) for the mmap buffer to
  overflow before we got to the first mmap_read() call, so this moves
  them before we open all the counters.

- The error message if sys_perf_counter_open fails needs to use errno,
  not -fd[i][counter].
