perf srcline: Optimize comparision against SRCLINE_UNKNOWN

This is a string constant that gets returned and then strcmp() around,
we can instead just do a pointer comparision.

That requires a new global variable to comply with these warnings from
some versions of clang and gcc:

  41    68.95 fedora:rawhide                : FAIL clang version 16.0.4 (Fedora 16.0.4-1.fc39)
    result of comparison against a string literal is unspecified (use an explicit string comparison function instead) [-Werror,-Wstring-compare]
            if (start_line != SRCLINE_UNKNOWN &&
                           ^  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  41

Ack comments:

Agreed, the strcmps make me nervous as they won't distinguish heap from
a global meaning we could end up with things like pointers to freed
memory. The comparison with the global is always going to be same imo.
