libperf: Make libperf.a part of the perf build

Add an empty libperf.a under tools/perf/lib and link it with perf.

It can also be built separately with:

  $ cd tools/perf/lib && make
    CC       core.o
    LD       libperf-in.o
    AR       libperf.a
    LINK     libperf.so

Committer testing:

  $ make O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf/lib/
  make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/lib'
    LINK     /tmp/build/perf/libperf.so
  make: Leaving directory '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/lib'
  $ ls -la /tmp/build/perf/libperf.so

Committer notes:

Need to add -I$(srctree)/tools/arch/$(ARCH)/include/uapi
-I$(srctree)/tools/include/uapi to tools/perf/lib/Makefile's INCLUDE
variable to pick up the latest versions of kernel headers, even in older
systems, this is in line with what is in tools/lib/bpf/Makefile.
