libbpf: Add the ability to suppress perf event enablement
Automatically enabling a perf event after attaching a BPF prog to it is
not always desirable.
Add a new "dont_enable" field to struct bpf_perf_event_opts. While
introducing "enable" instead would be nicer in that it would avoid
a double negation in the implementation, it would make
DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS() less efficient.
