perf tests task_analyzer: Check perf build options for libtraceevent support

Currently we depend on output of 'perf record -e "sched:sched_switch"', to
check whether perf was built with libtraceevent support.

Instead, a more straightforward approach can be to check the build options,
using 'perf version --build-options', to check for libtraceevent support.

When perf is compiled WITHOUT libtraceevent ('make NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1'),
'perf version --build-options' outputs (output trimmed):

 ...
         libtraceevent: [ OFF ]  # HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT
 ...

While, when perf is compiled WITH libtraceevent,

'perf version --build-options' outputs:

...
         libtraceevent: [ on ]  # HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT
 ...

Committer notes:

Removed one grep in the pipleline by combining the two into just one
expression that covers the OFF + HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT.
