[RFC PATCH v9 47/50] perf tools: Use same BPF program if arguments are identical

[Wang Nan]

This patch allows creating only one BPF program for different tevs
in one pev, if their prologue are identical.

This is done by comparing argument list of different tev, and maps type
of prologue and tev using a mapping array. This patch use qsort to sort
tevs prior type mapping for performance.
