perf tools: Call clang to compile C source to object code

This is the core patch for supporting eBPF on-the-fly compiling, does
the following work:

 1. Search clang compiler using search_program().

 2. Run command template defined in llvm-bpf-cmd-template option in
    [llvm] config section using read_from_pipe(). Patch of clang and
    source code path is injected into shell command using environment
    variable using force_set_env().

  Commiter notice:

  When building with DEBUG=1 we get a compiler error that gets fixed with
  the same approach described in commit b236512280fb:

    perf kmem: Fix compiler warning about may be accessing uninitialized variable

    The last argument to strtok_r doesn't need to be initialized, its
    just a placeholder to make this routine reentrant, but gcc doesn't know
    about that and complains, breaking the build, fix it by setting it to
    NULL.
