[ Upstream commit 3d012b8614ee020666f3dd15af9f65dc487e3f5f ]

Test case perftool-testsuite_report fails on s390 for some time
now.

Root cause is a time out which is too tight for large s390 machines.
The time out value addr2line_timeout_ms is per default set to 1 second.

This is the maximum time the function read_addr2line_record() waits for
a reply from the forked off tool addr2line, which is started as a child
in interactive mode.

It reads stdin (an address in hexadecimal) and replies on stdout with
function name, file name and line number. This might take more than one
second.

However one second is not always enough and the reply from addr2line
tool is not received. Function read_addr2line_record() fails and emits
a warning, which is not expected by the test case. It fails.

Output before:

Factor the addr2line function implementation into separate source files
(addr2line.[ch]) and rename the addr2line function cmd__addr2line. In
srcline replace the ifdef-ed addr2line implementations with one that
first tries the llvm__addr2line implementation, then the deprecated
libbfd__addr2line function and on failure uses cmd__addr2line.

If HAVE_LIBLLVM_SUPPORT is enabled the llvm__addr2line will execute
against the libLLVM.so it is linked against.

If HAVE_LIBLLVM_DYNAMIC is enabled then libperf-llvm.so (that links
against libLLVM.so) will be dlopened. If the dlopen succeeds then the
behavior should match HAVE_LIBLLVM_SUPPORT. On failure cmd__addr2line is
used. The dlopen is only tried once.

If HAVE_LIBLLVM_DYNAMIC isn't enabled then llvm__addr2line immediately
fails and cmd__addr2line is used.

Clean up the dso__free_a2l logic, which is only needed in the non-LLVM
version and moved to addr2line.c.
