perf util: Make util its own library

Make the util directory into its own library. This is done to avoid
compiling code twice, once for the perf tool and once for the perf
python module. For convenience:
arch/common.c
scripts/perl/Perf-Trace-Util/Context.c
scripts/python/Perf-Trace-Util/Context.c
are made part of this library.

So disable those warnings to keep building with perl devel headers.

What I did to fix is adding '-Wno-shadow' as the error message said it's
the cause of the failure. Since it's from the perl (not perf) code
base, we don't have the control so I just wanted to ignore the warning
when compiling perl scripting code.

Committer note:

This also fixes the build on Fedora Rawhide.
