There are still some cases, for instance to disassembly BPF code that
needs this, so until someone works on supporting that, we're keeping the
code but it is opt-in.
Make that clear on the 'perf version --build-options' and other ways to
query if a feature is present:
$ perf check feature libbfd
libbfd: [ OFF ] # HAVE_LIBBFD_SUPPORT ( tip: Deprecated, license incompatibility, use BUILD_NONDISTRO=1 and install binutils-dev[el] )
$ perf -vv | grep bfd
libbfd: [ OFF ] # HAVE_LIBBFD_SUPPORT ( tip: Deprecated, license incompatibility, use BUILD_NONDISTRO=1 and install binutils-dev[el] )
$

Ingo reported that it was difficult to understand why libunwind support
didn't link even when he had the usual libunwind-dev files installed in
his machine.
This is because libunwind became opt-in, the user has to use
LIBUNWIND=1, as it was deemed stalled in its development/unsuitable for
use with perf, IIRC, and so we better use the elfutils equivalent
routine that we also supported for ages.
But the build message still printed:
Auto-detecting system features:
... libdw: [ on ]
... glibc: [ on ]
<SNIP>
... libcrypto: [ on ]
... libunwind: [ OFF ]
<SNIP>
Which is confusing, so allow for having a tip when 'perf version
--build-options' is used, and variants with 'perf check feature':
$ perf version --build-options | grep libunwind
libunwind: [ OFF ] # HAVE_LIBUNWIND_SUPPORT ( tip: Deprecated, use LIBUNWIND=1 and install libunwind-dev[el] to build with it )
$
$ perf check feature libunwind
libunwind: [ OFF ] # HAVE_LIBUNWIND_SUPPORT ( tip: Deprecated, use LIBUNWIND=1 and install libunwind-dev[el] to build with it )
$
The next patches will remove the opt-in libunwind FEATURES_DISPLAY.

Both had the same open coded functions, share them so that we can add
tips for opt-in features such as libunwind, coresight, etc.
Examples of use:
$ perf check feature libcapstone
libcapstone: [ on ] # HAVE_LIBCAPSTONE_SUPPORT
$ perf check feature libunwind
libunwind: [ OFF ] # HAVE_LIBUNWIND_SUPPORT
$ perf version --build-options
perf version 6.15.rc1.g113e3df8ccc5

Currently the presence of a feature is checked with a combination of
perf version --build-options and greps, such as:
perf version --build-options | grep " on .* HAVE_FEATURE"
Instead of this, introduce a subcommand "perf check feature", with which
scripts can test for presence of a feature, such as:
perf check feature HAVE_FEATURE
'perf check feature' command is expected to have exit status of 0 if
feature is built-in, and 1 if it's not built-in or if feature is not known.
Multiple features can also be passed as a comma-separated list, in which
case the exit status will be 1 only if all of the passed features are
built-in. For example, with below command, it will have exit status of 0
only if both libtraceevent and bpf are enabled, else 1 in all other cases
perf check feature libtraceevent,bpf
The arguments are case-insensitive.
An array 'supported_features' has also been introduced that can be used by
other commands like 'perf version --build-options', so that new features
can be added in one place, with the array
Committer testing:
$ perf check feature libtraceevent,bpf
libtraceevent: [ on ] # HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT
bpf: [ on ] # HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT
$ perf check feature libtraceevent
libtraceevent: [ on ] # HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT
$ perf check feature bpf
bpf: [ on ] # HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT
$ perf check -q feature bpf && echo "BPF support is present"
BPF support is present
$ perf check -q feature Bogus && echo "Bogus support is present"
