perf x86: Define arch_fetch_insn in NO_AUXTRACE builds

archinsn.c containing arch_fetch_insn was only enabled with
CONFIG_AUXTRACE, but this meant that a NO_AUXTRACE build on x86 would
use the empty weak version of arch_fetch_insn - weak symbols are a
frequent source of errors like this and are outside of the C
specification. Change it so that archinsn.c is always built on x86 and
make the weak symbol empty version of arch_fetch_insn a strong one
guarded by ifdefs.

arch_fetch_insn on x86 depends on insn_decode which is a function
included then built into intel-pt-insn-decoder.c.
intel-pt-insn-decoder.c isn't built in a NO_AUXTRACE=1 build. Separate
the insn_decode function from intel-pt-insn-decoder.c by just directly
compiling the relevant file. Guard this compilation to be for either
always on x86 (because of the use in arch_fetch_insn) or when auxtrace
is enabled. Apply the CFLAGS overrides as necessary, reducing the amount
of code where warnings are disabled.

x86/insn: Use get_unaligned() instead of memcpy()

Use get_unaligned() instead of memcpy() to access potentially unaligned
memory, which, when accessed through a pointer, leads to undefined
behavior. get_unaligned() describes much better what is happening there
anyway even if memcpy() does the job.

In addition, since perf tool builds with -Werror, it would fire with:

util/intel-pt-decoder/../../../arch/x86/lib/insn.c: In function '__insn_get_emulate_prefix':
tools/include/../include/asm-generic/unaligned.h:10:15: error: packed attribute is unnecessary [-Werror=packed]
10 | const struct { type x; } __packed *__pptr = (typeof(__pptr))(ptr); \

because -Werror=packed would complain if the packed attribute would have
no effect on the layout of the structure.

In this case, that is intentional so disable the warning only for that
compilation unit.

perf intel-pt: Use shared x86 insn decoder

Now that there's a common version of the decoder for all tools, use it
instead of the local copy.

Also use perf's check-headers.sh script to diff the decoder files to
make sure they remain in sync with the kernel version. Objtool has a
similar check.

Committer notes:

Had to keep this all pointing explicitely to x86 headers/files, i.e.
instead of asm/isnn.h we had to use ../include/asm/insn.h when the files
were in differemt dirs, or just replace "<asm/foo.h>" with "foo.h".

This way we continue to be able to process perf.data files with Intel PT
traces in distros other than x86.

Also fixed up the awk script paths to use $(srcdir)/tools/arch instead
or relative directories so that we keep detached tarballs (make help |
grep perf) working.

For now the include lines in these headers are being ignored so as not
to flag false reports of kernel/tools out of sync.

perf tools: Display build warning if x86 instruction decoder differs from kernel

perf tools has a copy of the x86 instruction decoder used by the kernel.
The expectation is that the copy will be kept more-or-less in-synch with
the kernel version. Consequently it is helpful to know if there are
differences.

This patch adds a check into the perf tools build so that a diff is done
on the sources, and a warning is printed if they are different. Note
that the warning is not fatal and the build continues as normal.

The check is done as part of building the instruction decoder, so, like
a compiler warning, it is not seen unless the instruction decoder has to
be re-compiled. e.g.

$ make -C tools/perf >/dev/null
$ echo "/* blah */" >> tools/perf/util/intel-pt-decoder/inat_types.h
$ make -C tools/perf >/dev/null
Warning: Intel PT: x86 instruction decoder differs from kernel

The decoder requests a buffer of binary data via a get_trace()
