tools build: Correct bpf fixdep dependencies

The dependencies in tools/lib/bpf/Makefile are incorrect. Before we
recurse to build $(BPF_IN_STATIC), we need to build its 'fixdep'
executable.

I can't use the usual shortcut from Makefile.include:

<target>: <sources> fixdep

because its 'fixdep' target relies on $(OUTPUT), and $(OUTPUT) differs
in the parent 'make' versus the child 'make' -- so I imitate it via
open-coding.

I tweak a few $(MAKE) invocations while I'm at it, because
1. I'm adding a new recursive make; and
2. these recursive 'make's print spurious lines about files that are "up
to date" (which isn't normally a feature in Kbuild subtargets) or
"jobserver not available" (see [1])

I also need to tweak the assignment of the OUTPUT variable, so that
relative path builds work. For example, for 'make tools/lib/bpf', OUTPUT
is unset, and is usually treated as "cwd" -- but recursive make will
change cwd and so OUTPUT has a new meaning. For consistency, I ensure
OUTPUT is always an absolute path.

And $(Q) gets a backup definition in tools/build/Makefile.include,
because Makefile.include is sometimes included without
tools/build/Makefile, so the "quiet command" stuff doesn't actually work
consistently without it.

After this change, top-level builds result in an empty grep result from:

$ grep 'cannot find fixdep' $(find tools/ -name '*.cmd')

[1] https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/MAKE-Variable.html
If we're not using $(MAKE) directly, then we need to use more '+'.

libbpf: Make libbpf_version.h non-auto-generated

Turn previously auto-generated libbpf_version.h header into a normal
header file. This prevents various tricky Makefile integration issues,
simplifies the overall build process, but also allows to further extend
it with some more versioning-related APIs in the future.

To prevent accidental out-of-sync versions as defined by libbpf.map and
libbpf_version.h, Makefile checks their consistency at build time.

Simultaneously with this change bump libbpf.map to v0.6.

Also undo adding libbpf's output directory into include path for
kernel/bpf/preload, bpftool, and resolve_btfids, which is not necessary
because libbpf_version.h is just a normal header like any other.

libbpf: Stop using feature-detection Makefiles

Libbpf's Makefile relies on Linux tools infrastructure's feature detection
framework, but libbpf's needs are very modest: it detects the presence of
libelf and libz, both of which are mandatory. So it doesn't benefit much from
the framework, but pays significant costs in terms of maintainability and
debugging experience, when something goes wrong. The other feature detector,
testing for the presernce of minimal BPF API in system headers is long
obsolete as well, providing no value.

So stop using feature detection and just assume the presence of libelf and
libz during build time. Worst case, user will get a clear and actionable
linker error, e.g.:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lelf

On the other hand, we completely bypass recurring issues various users
reported over time with false negatives of feature detection (libelf or libz
not being detected, while they are actually present in the system).

bpf tools: Introduce 'bpf' library and add bpf feature check

This is the first patch of libbpf. The goal of libbpf is to create a
standard way for accessing eBPF object files. This patch creates
'Makefile' and 'Build' for it, allows 'make' to build libbpf.a and
libbpf.so, 'make install' to put them into proper directories.
Most part of Makefile is borrowed from traceevent.

Before building, it checks the existence of libelf in Makefile, and deny
to build if not found. Instead of throwing an error if libelf not found,
the error raises in a phony target "elfdep". This design is to ensure
'make clean' still workable even if libelf is not found.

Because libbpf requires 'kern_version' field set for 'union bpf_attr'
(bpfdep" is used for that dependency), Kernel BPF API is also checked
by intruducing a new feature check 'bpf' into tools/build/feature,
which checks the existence and version of linux/bpf.h. When building
libbpf, it searches that file from include/uapi/linux in kernel source
tree (controlled by FEATURE_CHECK_CFLAGS-bpf). Since it searches kernel
source tree it reside, installing of newest kernel headers is not
required, except we are trying to port these files to an old kernel.

To avoid checking that file when perf building, the newly introduced
'bpf' feature check doesn't added into FEATURE_TESTS and
FEATURE_DISPLAY by default in tools/build/Makefile.feature, but added
into libbpf's specific.
