Add perf probe subcommand for kprobe-event setup helper to perf command.
This allows user to define kprobe events by C expressions (C line numbers,
C function names, and C local variables).

Usage
-----
perf probe [<options>] -P 'PROBEDEF' [-P 'PROBEDEF' ...]

-k, --vmlinux<file> vmlinux/module pathname
-P, --probe<p|r:[GRP/]NAME FUNC[+OFFS][@SRC]|@SRC:LINE [ARG ...]>
probe point definition, where
p: kprobe probe
r: kretprobe probe
GRP: Group name (optional)
NAME: Event name
FUNC: Function name
OFFS: Offset from function entry (in byte)
SRC: Source code path
LINE: Line number
ARG: Probe argument (local variable name or
kprobe-tracer argument format is supported.)

Oops, I found it caused compilation error on gcc < 4.4 as below:

CC builtin-trace.o
CC builtin-probe.o
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
builtin-probe.c: In function 'parse_probepoint':
builtin-probe.c:109: error: implicit declaration of function 'strndup'
builtin-probe.c:109: error: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'strndup'

Since I forgot to add _GNU_SOURCE...
