[FFmpeg-cvslog] lavu/timer.h: add Linux Perf API support

ffmpeg | branch: master | Clément Bœsch <cboesch at gopro.com> | Sat Sep  2 19:25:10 2017 +0200| [f61379cbd45a91b26c7a1ddd3f16417466c435cd] | committer: Clément Bœsch

lavu/timer.h: add Linux Perf API support

Refer to "checkasm: use perf API on Linux ARM*" commit for the
rationale.

The implementation is somehow duplicated with checkasm, but so is the
current usage of AV_READ_TIME(). Until these implementations and
heuristics are made consistent, I don't see a way of sharing that code.

Note: when using libavutil/timer.h, it is now important to include
before any other include due to the _GNU_SOURCE requirement.
