Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo a059373a9a perf check: Add tip about building with libbfd using BUILD_NONDISTRO=1 ...

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] )
  $
