perf llvm: Allow dump llvm output object file using llvm.dump-obj

Add a 'llvm.dump-obj' config option to enable perf dump BPF object files
compiled by LLVM.

This option is useful when using BPF objects in embedded platforms.
LLVM compiler won't be deployed in these platforms, and currently we
don't support dynamic compiling library.

Before this patch users have to explicitly issue llvm commands to
compile BPF scripts, and can't use helpers (like include path detection
and default macros) in perf. With this option, user is allowed to use
perf to compile their BPF objects then copy them into their embedded
platforms.

Committer notice:

Testing it:

  # cat ~/.perfconfig
  [llvm]
	dump-obj = true
  #
  # ls -la filter.o
  ls: cannot access filter.o: No such file or directory
  # cat filter.c
  #include <uapi/linux/bpf.h>
  #define SEC(NAME) __attribute__((section(NAME), used))

  SEC("func=hrtimer_nanosleep rqtp->tv_nsec")
  int func(void *ctx, int err, long nsec)
  {
	return nsec > 1000;
  }
  char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL";
  int _version SEC("version") = LINUX_VERSION_CODE;
  # trace -e nanosleep --event filter.c usleep 6
