While building on a wide range of distros and clang versions it was
noticed that at least version 12.0.1 (noticed on Alpine 3.15 with
"Alpine clang version 12.0.1") is needed to not fail with BTF generation
errors such as:
Debian:10
Debian clang version 11.0.1-2~deb10u1:
CLANG /tmp/build/perf/util/bpf_skel/.tmp/sample_filter.bpf.o
<SNIP>
GENSKEL /tmp/build/perf/util/bpf_skel/sample_filter.skel.h

Amazon Linux 2:
clang version 11.1.0 (Amazon Linux 2 11.1.0-1.amzn2.0.2)
GENSKEL /tmp/build/perf/util/bpf_skel/sample_filter.skel.h

Ubuntu 20.04:
clang version 10.0.0-4ubuntu1
CLANG /tmp/build/perf/util/bpf_skel/.tmp/augmented_raw_syscalls.bpf.o
GENSKEL /tmp/build/perf/util/bpf_skel/bench_uprobe.skel.h
GENSKEL /tmp/build/perf/util/bpf_skel/bperf_leader.skel.h
libbpf: sec '.reluprobe': corrupted symbol #27 pointing to invalid section #65522 for relo #0
GENSKEL /tmp/build/perf/util/bpf_skel/bperf_follower.skel.h
Error: failed to open BPF object file: BPF object format invalid

So check if the version is at least 12.0.1 otherwise disable building
BPF skels and provide a message about it, continuing the build.
The message, when running on amazonlinux:2:

Applied to perf-tools-next, thanks!
