perf llvm: Allow passing options to llc in addition to clang

The newly added 'llvm.opts' variable allows passing options directly to
llc, like needed to get sane DWARF in BPF ELF debug sections:

With:

  [root@seventh perf]# cat ~/.perfconfig
  [llvm]
	  dump-obj = true
	clang-opt = -g
  [root@seventh perf]#

We get:

  [root@seventh perf]# perf trace -e tools/perf/examples/bpf/hello.c cat /etc/passwd > /dev/null
  LLVM: dumping tools/perf/examples/bpf/hello.o
       0.000 __bpf_stdout__:Hello, world
       0.015 __bpf_stdout__:Hello, world
       0.187 __bpf_stdout__:Hello, world
  [root@seventh perf]# pahole tools/perf/examples/bpf/hello.o

  [root@seventh perf]#

Adding these options to be passed to llvm's llc:

  [root@seventh perf]# cat ~/.perfconfig
  [llvm]
	  dump-obj = true
	  clang-opt = -g
	  opts = -mattr=dwarfris
  [root@seventh perf]#

We get sane output:

  [root@seventh perf]# perf trace -e tools/perf/examples/bpf/hello.c cat /etc/passwd > /dev/null
  LLVM: dumping tools/perf/examples/bpf/hello.o
       0.000 __bpf_stdout__:Hello, world
       0.015 __bpf_stdout__:Hello, world
       0.185 __bpf_stdout__:Hello, world
  [root@seventh perf]# pahole tools/perf/examples/bpf/hello.o
