    perf build: Don't unconditionally link the libbfd feature test to -liberty and -lz · 14541b1e

    Current libbfd feature test unconditionally links against -liberty and -lz.
    While it's required on some systems (e.g. opensuse), it's completely
    unnecessary on the others, where only -lbdf is sufficient (debian).
    This patch streamlines (and renames) the following feature checks:
    
    feature-libbfd           - only link against -lbfd (debian),
                               see commit 2cf90407 ("perf tools: Fix bfd
    			   dependency libraries detection")
    feature-libbfd-liberty   - link against -lbfd and -liberty
    feature-libbfd-liberty-z - link against -lbfd, -liberty and -lz (opensuse),
                               see commit 280e7c48 ("perf tools: fix BFD
    			   detection on opensuse")
    
    (feature-liberty{,-z} were renamed to feature-libbfd-liberty{,z}
    for clarity)
    
    The main motivation is to fix this feature test for bpftool which is
    currently broken on debian (libbfd feature shows OFF, but we still
    unconditionally link against -lbfd and it works).
    
    Tested on debian with only -lbfd installed (without -liberty); I'd
    appreciate if somebody on the other systems can test this new detection
    method.
