perf bpf: Remove support for embedding clang for compiling BPF events (-e foo.c)

This never was in the default build for perf, is difficult to maintain
as it uses clang/llvm internals so ditch it, keeping, for now, the
external compilation of .c BPF into .o bytecode and its subsequent
loading, that is also going to be removed, do it separately to help
bisection and to properly document what is being removed and why.

Committer notes:

Extracted from a larger patch and removed some leftovers, namely
deleting these now unused feature tests:

    tools/build/feature/test-clang.cpp
    tools/build/feature/test-cxx.cpp
    tools/build/feature/test-llvm-version.cpp
    tools/build/feature/test-llvm.cpp

Testing the use of BPF events after applying this patch:

To use the external clang/llvm toolchain to compile a .c event and then
use libbpf to load it, to get the syscalls:sys_enter_open* tracepoints
and read the filename pointer, putting it into the ring buffer right
after the usual tracepoint payload for 'perf trace' to then print it:

  [root@quaco ~]# perf trace -e /home/acme/git/perf-tools-next/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c,open* --max-events=10

Same thing, but with a prebuilt .o BPF bytecode:
