perf probe: Provide perf interface for uprobes

Browse Source 
- Enhances perf to probe user space executables and libraries.
- Enhances -F/--funcs option of "perf probe" to list possible probe points in
  an executable file or library.
- Documents userspace probing support in perf.

[ Probing a function in the executable using function name  ]
perf probe -x /bin/zsh zfree

[ Probing a library function using function name ]
perf probe -x /lib64/libc.so.6 malloc

[ list probe-able functions in an executable ]
perf probe -F -x /bin/zsh

[ list probe-able functions in an library]
perf probe -F -x /lib/libc.so.6
