bpf: introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT program type

Introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT programs that can be attached to
HW and SW perf events (PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE and PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE
correspondingly in uapi/linux/perf_event.h)

The program visible context meta structure is
struct bpf_perf_event_data {
    struct pt_regs regs;
     __u64 sample_period;
};
which is accessible directly from the program:
int bpf_prog(struct bpf_perf_event_data *ctx)
{
  ... ctx->sample_period ...
  ... ctx->regs.ip ...
}

The bpf verifier rewrites the accesses into kernel internal
struct bpf_perf_event_data_kern which allows changing
struct perf_sample_data without affecting bpf programs.
New fields can be added to the end of struct bpf_perf_event_data
in the future.
