perf inject: Add jitdump mmap injection support

This patch adds a --jit/-j option to perf inject.

This options injects MMAP records into the perf.data file to cover the
jitted code mmaps. It also emits ELF images for each function in the
jidump file.  Those images are created where the jitdump file is.  The
MMAP records point to that location as well.

Typical flow:

  $ perf record -k mono -- java -agentpath:libpjvmti.so java_class
  $ perf inject --jit -i perf.data -o perf.data.jitted
  $ perf report -i perf.data.jitted

Note that jitdump.h support is not limited to Java, it works with any
jitted environment modified to emit the jitdump file format, include
those where code can be jitted multiple times and moved around.

The jitdump.h format is adapted from the Oprofile project.

The genelf.c (ELF binary generation) depends on MD5 hash encoding for
the buildid. To enable this, libssl-dev must be installed. If not, then
genelf.c defaults to using urandom to generate the buildid, which is not
ideal.  The Makefile auto-detects the presence on libssl-dev.

This version mmaps the jitdump file to create a marker MMAP record in
the perf.data file. The marker is used to detect jitdump and cause perf
inject to inject the jitted mmaps and generate ELF images for jitted
functions.

In V8, the following fixes and changes were made among other things:

  -  the jidump header format include a new flags field to be used
     to carry information about the configuration of the runtime agent.

  - Fix mmap pgoff: MMAP event pgoff must be the offset within the ELF file
    at which the code resides.

  - Fix ELF virtual addresses: perf tools expect the ELF virtual addresses of dynamic
    objects to match the file offset.

  - JIT MMAP injection does not obey finished_round semantics. JIT MMAP injection injects all
    MMAP events in one go, so it does not obey finished_round semantics, so drop the
    finished_round events from the output perf.data file.
