perf check: Add tip about building with libbfd using BUILD_NONDISTRO=1
There are still some cases, for instance to disassembly BPF code that
needs this, so until someone works on supporting that, we're keeping the
code but it is opt-in.
Make that clear on the 'perf version --build-options' and other ways to
query if a feature is present:
$ perf check feature libbfd
libbfd: [ OFF ] # HAVE_LIBBFD_SUPPORT ( tip: Deprecated, license incompatibility, use BUILD_NONDISTRO=1 and install binutils-dev[el] )
$ perf -vv | grep bfd
libbfd: [ OFF ] # HAVE_LIBBFD_SUPPORT ( tip: Deprecated, license incompatibility, use BUILD_NONDISTRO=1 and install binutils-dev[el] )
$
