[RFC PATCH 0/5] perf/tests: convert Perl test helpers to Python

[Breno Rodrigues Alves]

This series converts five Perl test helpers in tools/ to Python 3,
continuing the Perl-to-Python conversion effort for the kernel's
auxiliary scripts.

Each conversion is a faithful 1:1 port: same CLI, same output,
same exit codes. All use only the Python standard library.

The five scripts are:
  - prefix.pl                      -> prefix.py
  - check_all_patterns_found.pl    -> check_all_patterns_found.py
  - check_no_patterns_found.pl     -> check_no_patterns_found.py
  - check_all_lines_matched.pl     -> check_all_lines_matched.py
  - check_errors_whitelisted.pl    -> check_errors_whitelisted.py

All five were verified byte-for-byte identical to their Perl
counterparts on synthetic inputs.

These files are used by perf test shell scripts to validate
test output; they have no dependency on the perf binary or its
Python bindings, so they can be converted independently.
