perf record: Move probing cgroup sampling support

I found that checking cgroup sampling support using the missing features
doesn't work on old kernels. Because it added both attr.cgroup bit and
PERF_SAMPLE_CGROUP bit, it needs to check whichever comes first (usually
the actual event, not dummy).

But it only checks the attr.cgroup bit which is set only in the dummy
event so cannot detect failtures due the sample bits. Also we don't
ignore the missing feature and retry, it'd be better checking it with
the API probing logic.

Committer notes:

Extracted the minimal part to check using the new cgroup API probe
routine, the part that removes the cgroup member can be left for further
discussion.

perf record: Add --buildid-mmap option to enable PERF_RECORD_MMAP2's build id

Add --buildid-mmap option to enable build id in PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 events.

It will only work if there's kernel support for that and it disables
build id cache (implies --no-buildid).

It's also possible to enable it permanently via config option in
~/.perfconfig file:

[record]
build-id=mmap

Also added build_id bit in the verbose output for perf_event_attr:

# perf record --buildid-mmap -vv
...
perf_event_attr:
type 1
size 120
...
build_id 1

Adding also missing text_poke bit.

Committer testing:

$ perf record -h build

Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

-B, --no-buildid do not collect buildids in perf.data
-N, --no-buildid-cache
do not update the buildid cache
--buildid-all Record build-id of all DSOs regardless of hits
--buildid-mmap Record build-id in map events

$

$ perf record --buildid-mmap sleep 1
Failed: no support to record build id in mmap events, update your kernel.
$

After adding the needed kernel bits in a test kernel:

$ perf record -vv --buildid-mmap sleep 1 |& grep -m1 build
Enabling build id in mmap2 events.
$ perf evlist -v
