perf ftrace: Detect whether ftrace is enabled on system

To make error messages more accurate, this change detects whether ftrace is
enabled on system by checking trace file "set_ftrace_pid".

Before:

  # perf ftrace
  failed to reset ftrace
  #

After:

  # perf ftrace
  ftrace is not supported on this system
  #

Committer testing:

Doing it in an unprivileged toolbox container on Fedora 40:

Before:

  acme@number:~/git/perf-tools-next$ toolbox enter perf
  ⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ sudo su -
  ⬢[root@toolbox ~]# ~acme/bin/perf ftrace
  failed to reset ftrace
  ⬢[root@toolbox ~]#

After this patch:

  ⬢[root@toolbox ~]# ~acme/bin/perf ftrace
  ftrace is not supported on this system
  ⬢[root@toolbox ~]#

Maybe we could check if we are in such as situation, inside an
unprivileged container, and provide a HINT line?
