    perf tools: Add 'perf -vv' as an alias to 'perf version --build-options' · 3aa94b10

    We keep having bug reports that when users build perf on their own, but
    they don't install some needed libraries such as libelf,
    libbfd/libibery.
    
    The perf can build, but it is missing important functionality.
    
    This patch provides a new option '-vv' for perf which will print the
    compiled-in status of libraries.
    
    The 'perf -vv' is mapped to 'perf version --build-options'.
    
    For example:
    
    $ ./perf -vv
    
    perf version 4.13.rc5.g6727c5

    v3:
    
    One bug is found in v2. It didn't process the option like '-vabc'
    correctly. Fix this bug.
    
    v2:
    
    Use a global variable version_verbose to record the number of 'v'.
