perf bpf: Avoid build breakage with libbpf < 0.8.0 + LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1

Browse Source 
In 746bd29e34 ("perf build: Use tools/lib headers from install
path") we stopped having the tools/lib/ directory from the kernel
sources in the header include path unconditionally, which breaks the
build on systems with older versions of libbpf-devel, in this case 0.7.0
as some of the structures and function declarations present in the newer
version of libbpf included in the kernel sources (tools/lib/bpf) are not
anymore used, just the ones in the system libbpf.

So instead of trying to provide alternative functions when the
libbpf-bpf_program__set_insns feature test fails, fail a
LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1 build (requesting the use of the system's libbpf) and
emit this build error message:

  $ make LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1 -C tools/perf
  Makefile.config:593: *** Error: libbpf devel library needs to be >= 0.8.0 to build with LIBBPF_DYNAMIC, update or build statically with the version that comes with the kernel sources.  Stop.
  $

For v6.3 these tests will be revamped and we'll require libbpf 1.0 as a
minimal version for using LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1, most distros should have it
by now or at v6.3 time.
