perf tools: Compile scriptlets to BPF objects when passing '.c' to --event

This patch provides infrastructure for passing source files to --event
directly using:

 # perf record --event bpf-file.c command

This patch does following works:

 1) Allow passing '.c' file to '--event'. parse_events_load_bpf() is
    expanded to allow caller tell it whether the passed file is source
    file or object.

 2) llvm__compile_bpf() is called to compile the '.c' file, the result
    is saved into memory. Use bpf_object__open_buffer() to load the
    in-memory object.

Introduces a bpf-script-example.c so we can manually test it:

 # perf record --clang-opt "-DLINUX_VERSION_CODE=0x40200" --event ./bpf-script-example.c sleep 1

Note that '--clang-opt' must put before '--event'.

Futher patches will merge it into a testcase so can be tested automatically.
