Add unit tests for utility functions in src/utils.c using the Check
testing framework. The tests verify parse_cpu_set(), strtoi(), and
parse_prio() functions.

Unit tests are built conditionally when libcheck is available.
Run tests with 'make unit-test'.

The test framework uses the Check library which provides process
isolation for each test, preventing failures in one test from
affecting others.

<title>tools/rtla: Use tools/build makefiles to build rtla</title>

Use tools/build/ makefiles to build rtla, inheriting the benefits of
it. For example, having a proper way to handle dependencies.

rtla is built using perf infra-structure when building inside the
kernel tree.

At this point, rtla diverges from perf in two points: Documentation
and tarball generation/build.

At the documentation level, rtla is one step ahead, placing the
documentation at Documentation/tools/rtla/, using the same build
tools as kernel documentation. The idea is to move perf
documentation to the same scheme and then share the same makefiles.

rtla has a tarball target that the (old) RHEL8 uses. The tarball was
kept using a simple standalone makefile for compatibility. The
standalone makefile shares most of the code, e.g., flags, with
regular buildings.

The tarball method was set as deprecated. If necessary, we can make
a rtla tarball like perf, which includes the entire tools/build.
But this would also require changes in the user side (the directory
structure changes, and probably the deps to build the package).

Inspired on perf and objtool.
