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.

Testing it:
