Subject: [PATCHv4 0/6] perf/bpftool: Allow to link libbpf dynamically

hi,
adding support to link bpftool with libbpf dynamically,
and config change for perf.

It's now possible to use:
  $ make -C tools/bpf/bpftool/ LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1

which will detect libbpf devel package and if found, link it with bpftool.

It's possible to use arbitrary installed libbpf:
  $ make -C tools/bpf/bpftool/ LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1 LIBBPF_DIR=/tmp/libbpf/

I based this change on top of Arnaldo's perf/core, because
it contains libbpf feature detection code as dependency.

Also available in:
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jolsa/perf.git
  libbpf/dyn

v4 changes:
  - based on Toke's v3 post, there's no need for additional API exports:

    Since bpftool uses bits of libbpf that are not exported as public API in
    the .so version, we also pass in libbpf.a to the linker, which allows it to
    pick up the private functions from the static library without having to
    expose them as ABI.

  - changing some Makefile variable names
  - documenting LIBBPF_DYNAMIC and LIBBPF_DIR in the Makefile comment
  - extending test_bpftool_build.sh with libbpf dynamic link

thanks,
jirka
