perf tools: Enable libtraceevent dynamic linking

Currently we support only static linking with kernel's libtraceevent
(tools/lib/traceevent). This patch adds libtraceevent package detection
and support to link perf with it dynamically.

  The libtraceevent package status is displayed with:
  $ make VF=1 LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC=1
  ...
  ...                 libtraceevent: [ on  ]

Default behavior remains the same (static linking).

Committer testing:

  $ make LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC=1 VF=1 O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf install-bin |& grep traceevent
  Makefile.config:1090: *** Error: No libtraceevent devel library found, please install libtraceevent-devel.  Stop.
