Ian Rogers d118b08f7e tools lib api: Add io_dir an allocation free readdir alternative
glibc's opendir allocates a minimum of 32kb, when called recursively
for a directory tree the memory consumption can add up - nearly 300kb
during perf start-up when processing modules. Add a stack allocated
variant of readdir sized a little more than 1kb.

As getdents64 may be missing from libc, add support using syscall. As
the system call number maybe missing, add #defines for those.

Note, an earlier version of this patch had a feature test for
getdents64 but there were problems on certains distros where
getdents64 would be #define renamed to getdents breaking the code. The
syscall use was made uncondtional to work around this. There is
