perf tools: Add test for building detached source tarballs
Test one of the main kernel Makefile targets to generate a perf sources tarball suitable for build outside the full kernel sources. This is to test that the tools/perf/MANIFEST file lists all the files needed to be in such tarball, which sometimes gets broken when we move files around, like when we made some files that were in tools/perf/ available to other tools/ codebases by moving it to tools/include/, etc. Now everytime we use 'make -C tools/perf -f tests/make' this test will be performed, helping detect such problems earlier in the devel cycle.
