We keep having bug reports that when users build perf on their own,
but they don't install some needed libraries such as libelf,
libbfd/libibery.
The perf can build, but it is missing important functionality.
This patch provides a new option '-vv' for perf which will
print the compiled-in status of libraries.
The 'perf -vv' is mapped to 'perf version --build-options'.
For example:
$ ./perf -vv
perf version 4.13.rc5.g4c1df1
dwarf: [ on ]
dwarf_getlocations: [ on ]
glibc: [ on ]
gtk2: [ on ]
libaudit: [ OFF ]
libbfd: [ on ]
libelf: [ on ]
libnuma: [ on ]
numa_num_possible_cpus: [ on ]
libperl: [ on ]
libpython: [ on ]
libslang: [ on ]
libcrypto: [ on ]
libunwind: [ on ]
libdw-dwarf-unwind: [ on ]
zlib: [ on ]
lzma: [ on ]
get_cpuid: [ on ]
bpf: [ on ]
v3:
---
One bug is found in v2. It didn't process the option like '-vabc'
correctly. Fix this bug.
v2:
---
Use a global variable version_verbose to record the number of 'v'.
