[PATCH] perf: allow forcing use of cplus_demangle

[Kyle McMartin]

For Fedora, I want to force perf to link against libiberty.a for
cplus_demangle, rather than libbfd.a for bfd_demangle due to licensing
insanity on binutils. (libiberty is LGPL2, libbfd is GPL3.)

If we just rely on autodetection, we'll end up with libbfd linked
against us, since they're both in binutils-static in the buildroot.
