binutils changed the signature of init_disassemble_info(), which now causes

I first fixed this without introducing the compat header, as suggested by
Quentin, but I thought the amount of repeated boilerplate was a bit too
much. So instead I introduced a compat header to wrap the API changes. Even
tools/bpf/bpftool/jit_disasm.c, which needs its own callbacks for json, imo
looks nicer this way.
I'm not regular contributor, so it very well might be my procedures are a
bit off...
I am not sure I added the right [number of] people to CC?
I think its ok
WRT the feature test: Not sure what the point of the -DPACKAGE='"perf"' is,
I think its related to libbfd, and it comes from a long time ago, trying
to find the cset adding that...
nor why tools/perf/Makefile.config sets some LDFLAGS/CFLAGS that are also
in feature/Makefile and why -ldl isn't needed in the other places. But...
V2:
- split patches further, so that tools/bpf and tools/perf part are entirely
separate
Cool, thanks, I'll process the first 4 patches, then at some point the
bpftool bits can be merged, alternatively I can process those as well if
the bpftool maintainers are ok with it.
I'll just wait a bit to see if Jiri and others have something to say.

Thanks for this work! For the series:
Acked-by: Quentin Monnet <quentin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
For what it's worth, it would make sense to me that these patches remain
together (so, through Arnaldo's tree), given that both the perf and
bpftool parts depend on dis-asm-compat.h being available.
Ok, so I'm tentatively adding it to my local tree to do some tests, if
someone disagrees, please holler.
