perf bpf skels: Stop using vmlinux.h generated from BTF, use subset of used structs + CO-RE
Linus reported a build break due to using a vmlinux without a BTF elf section to generate the vmlinux.h header with bpftool for use in the BPF tools in tools/perf/util/bpf_skel/*.bpf.c. Instead add a vmlinux.h file with the structs needed with the fields the tools need, marking the structs with __attribute__((preserve_access_index)), so that libbpf's CO-RE code can fixup the struct field offsets. In some cases the vmlinux.h file that was being generated by bpftool from the kernel BTF information was not needed at all, just including linux/bpf.h, sometimes linux/perf_event.h was enough as non-UAPI types were not being used. To keep te patch small, include those UAPI headers from the trimmed down vmlinux.h file, that then provides the tools with just the structs and the subset of its fields needed for them.
