bpftool: Use a local bpf_perf_event_value to fix accessing its fields

Fix the following error when building bpftool:

  CLANG   profiler.bpf.o
  CLANG   pid_iter.bpf.o
skeleton/profiler.bpf.c:18:21: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to an incomplete type 'struct bpf_perf_event_value'
        __uint(value_size, sizeof(struct bpf_perf_event_value));
                           ^     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
tools/bpf/bpftool/bootstrap/libbpf/include/bpf/bpf_helpers.h:13:39: note: expanded from macro '__uint'
tools/bpf/bpftool/bootstrap/libbpf/include/bpf/bpf_helper_defs.h:7:8: note: forward declaration of 'struct bpf_perf_event_value'
struct bpf_perf_event_value;
       ^

struct bpf_perf_event_value is being used in the kernel only when
CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS is enabled, so it misses a BTF entry then.
Define struct bpf_perf_event_value___local with the
`preserve_access_index` attribute inside the pid_iter BPF prog to
allow compiling on any configs. It is a full mirror of a UAPI
structure, so is compatible both with and w/o CO-RE.
bpf_perf_event_read_value() requires a pointer of the original type,
so a cast is needed.
