bpf: Implement minimal BPF perf link

Introduce a new type of BPF link - BPF perf link. This brings perf_event-based
BPF program attachments (perf_event, tracepoints, kprobes, and uprobes) into
the common BPF link infrastructure, allowing to list all active perf_event
based attachments, auto-detaching BPF program from perf_event when link's FD
is closed, get generic BPF link fdinfo/get_info functionality.

BPF_LINK_CREATE command expects perf_event's FD as target_fd. No extra flags
are currently supported.

Force-detaching and atomic BPF program updates are not yet implemented, but
with perf_event-based BPF links we now have common framework for this without
the need to extend ioctl()-based perf_event interface.

One interesting consideration is a new value for bpf_attach_type, which
BPF_LINK_CREATE command expects. Generally, it's either 1-to-1 mapping from
bpf_attach_type to bpf_prog_type, or many-to-1 mapping from a subset of
bpf_attach_types to one bpf_prog_type (e.g., see BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_SKB or
BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK). In this case, though, we have three different
program types (KPROBE, TRACEPOINT, PERF_EVENT) using the same perf_event-based
mechanism, so it's many bpf_prog_types to one bpf_attach_type. I chose to
define a single BPF_PERF_EVENT attach type for all of them and adjust
link_create()'s logic for checking correspondence between attach type and
program type.

The alternative would be to define three new attach types (e.g., BPF_KPROBE,
BPF_TRACEPOINT, and BPF_PERF_EVENT), but that seemed like unnecessary overkill
and BPF_KPROBE will cause naming conflicts with BPF_KPROBE() macro, defined by
libbpf. I chose to not do this to avoid unnecessary proliferation of
bpf_attach_type enum values and not have to deal with naming conflicts.
