perf test: Add support for setting objdump binary via perf config

Add a 'perf config' variable that does the same thing as "perf test
--objdump <x>".

Also update the man page.

Committer testing:

  # perf config test.objdump
  # perf test "object code reading"
   26: Object code reading                                             : Ok
  # perf config test.objdump=blah
  # perf config test.objdump
  test.objdump=blah
  # perf test "object code reading"
   26: Object code reading                                             : FAILED!
  # perf test -v "object code reading"
