For building perf without libelf, we can set NO_LIBELF=1 as a argument
of make. It then defines NO_LIBELF_SUPPORT macro for C code to do the
proper handling. However it usually used in a negative semantics -
e.g. #ifndef - so we saw double negations which can be misleading.
Convert it to a positive form to make it more readable.

Now we have isolated all ELF-specific stuff, it's possible to build
without libelf. The output binary can do most of jobs but lacks (user
level) symbol information - kernel symbols are still accessable thanks
to the kallsyms.
To build perf without libelf (elfutils), give NO_LIBELF=1 to make.
For now, only 'perf probe' command is removed since it depends on
libelf/libdw heavily.

Several people have suggested that 'perf' has become a full-fledged
tool that should be moved out of Documentation/. Move it to the
(new) tools/ directory.
