I've tried building the docs in tools/perf/Documentation/ , and after
that `git status` showed dozen of untracked htmls. Let's ignore them.

Several people have suggested that 'perf' has become a full-fledged
tool that should be moved out of Documentation/. Move it to the
(new) tools/ directory.

Make .gitignore reflect perf_counter tools files so
git status doesn't gripe about untracked files.

First very raw version at having a central 'perf' command and
a list of subcommands:

  perf top
  perf stat
  perf record
  perf report
  ...

This is done by picking up Git's collection of utility functions,
and hacking them to build fine in this new environment.
