tools/rtla: Use tools/build makefiles to build rtla

Use tools/build/ makefiles to build rtla, inheriting the benefits of
it. For example, having a proper way to handle dependencies.

rtla is built using perf infra-structure when building inside the
kernel tree.

At this point, rtla diverges from perf in two points: Documentation
and tarball generation/build.

At the documentation level, rtla is one step ahead, placing the
documentation at Documentation/tools/rtla/, using the same build
tools as kernel documentation. The idea is to move perf
documentation to the same scheme and then share the same makefiles.

rtla has a tarball target that the (old) RHEL8 uses. The tarball was
kept using a simple standalone makefile for compatibility. The
standalone makefile shares most of the code, e.g., flags, with
regular buildings.

The tarball method was set as deprecated. If necessary, we can make
a rtla tarball like perf, which includes the entire tools/build.
But this would also require changes in the user side (the directory
structure changes, and probably the deps to build the package).

Inspired on perf and objtool.
