[PATCH v6 1/3] perf report: compile tips.txt in perf binary

[Denys Zagorui]

It seems there is some need to have an ability to invoke perf from
build directory without installation
(84cfac7f05e1: perf tools: Set and pass DOCDIR to builtin-report.c)
DOCDIR definition contains an absolute path to kernel source directory.
It is build machine related info and it makes perf binary unreproducible.

This can be avoided by compiling tips.txt in perf directly.
