perf tools: Allow to build with -ltcmalloc

By using "make TCMALLOC=1" you can enable perf to be build for usage
with libtcmalloc.so (gperftools).

Get heap profile (tools/perf directory):

  $ <install gperftools>
  $ make TCMALLOC=1 DEBUG=1
  $ HEAPPROFILE=/tmp/heapprof ./perf ...
  $ pprof ./perf /tmp/heapprof.000*

See callstack:
  $ pprof --pdf ./perf /tmp/heapprof.00* > callstack.pdf
  $ pprof --web ./perf /tmp/heapprof.00*

Committer testing:

Install gperftools, on fedora:

  # dnf install gperftools-devel

Then build:

 $ make TCMALLOC=1 DEBUG=1 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin

Verify that it linked against the right library:

  $ ldd ~/bin/perf | grep tcma
	libtcmalloc.so.4 => /lib64/libtcmalloc.so.4 (0x00007fb2953a7000)
  $

Run 'perf trace' system wide for 1 minute:

  # HEAPPROFILE=/tmp/heapprof perf trace -a sleep 1m
