tools perf: Fix compilation error with new binutils



binutils changed the signature of init_disassemble_info(), which now causes
compilation failures for tools/perf/util/annotate.c, e.g. on debian
unstable.

Relevant binutils commit:

  https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=60a3da00bd5407f07

Wire up the feature test and switch to init_disassemble_info_compat(),
which were introduced in prior commits, fixing the compilation failure.

I verified that perf can still disassemble bpf programs by using bpftrace
under load, recording a perf trace, and then annotating the bpf "function"
with and without the changes. With old binutils there's no change in output
before/after this patch. When comparing the output from old binutils (2.35)
to new bintuils with the patch (upstream snapshot) there are a few output
differences, but they are unrelated to this patch. An example hunk is:

       1.15 :   55:mov    %rbp,%rdx
       0.00 :   58:add    $0xfffffffffffffff8,%rdx
       0.00 :   5c:xor    %ecx,%ecx
  -    1.03 :   5e:callq  0xffffffffe12aca3c
  +    1.03 :   5e:call   0xffffffffe12aca3c
       0.00 :   63:xor    %eax,%eax
  -    2.18 :   65:leaveq
  -    2.82 :   66:retq
  +    2.18 :   65:leave
  +    2.82 :   66:ret
