perf tools: Make options always available, even if required libs not linked
This patch keeps options of perf builtins same in all conditions. If one option is disabled because of compiling options, users should be notified. Masami suggested another implementation in [1] that, by adding a OPTION_NEXT_DEPENDS option before those options in the 'struct option' array, options parser knows an option is disabled. However, in some cases this array is reordered (options__order()). In addition, in parse-option.c that array is const, so we can't simply merge information in decorator option into the affacted option. This patch chooses a simpler implementation that, introducing a set_option_nobuild() function and two option parsing flags. Builtins with such options should call set_option_nobuild() before option parsing. The complexity of this patch is because we want some of options can be skipped safely. In this case their arguments should also be consumed. Options in 'perf record' and 'perf probe' are fixed in this patch.
