perf bpf: Tighten detection of BPF events

  perf stat -e cpu/uops_executed.core,cmask=1/

would be detected as a BPF source event because the .c matches the .c
source BPF pattern.

v2:

Originally I tried to use lex lookahead, but it doesn't seem to work.

This now extends the BPF pattern to match longer events, but then does
an extra check in the C code to reject BPF matches that do not end with
.c/.o/.obj

This uses REJECT, which makes the flex scanner slower, but that
shouldn't be a big problem for the perf events.

Committer testing:

  # perf trace -e write -e /home/acme/bpf/tracepoint.c cat /etc/passwd > /dev/null
     0.000 ( 0.006 ms): cat/18485 write(fd: 1, buf: 0x7f59eebe1000, count: 3494                         ) ...
     0.006 (         ): raw_syscalls:sys_enter:NR 1 (1, 7f59eebe1000, da6, 22, 7f59eebe0010, 0))
     0.008 (         ): perf_bpf_probe:_write:(ffffffff9626b2c0))
     0.000 ( 0.010 ms): cat/18485  ... [continued]: write()) = 3494
  #

It continues doing what was expected, i.e. identifying
/home/acme/bpf/tracepoint.c as a BPF event and activates the clang
machinery to build an eBPF object and then uses sys_bpf() to hook it up
to the raw_syscalls:sys_enter tracepoint, etc.

Andi forgot to add Wang to the CC list, fix it.
