Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 1331bb5106 perf build: install-build-deps: add Ubuntu devel package mapping
With the framework and Fedora mapping in place, this patch adds the
Ubuntu (apt) mapping: same feature-to-package correspondence as the
Fedora one, adapted to Debian packaging conventions (libfoo-dev), on
a per-distro dispatch so future distros can pick their own mapping or
reuse one of these (Debian shares the Ubuntu mapping).

Notable differences from Fedora:

  - base set: g++ (ships libstdc++-*-dev, covering cxa-demangle),
    pkg-config (installed implicitly by Fedora's default toolchain
    metapackage, but not by Ubuntu's), linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev
    instead of kernel-headers and glibc-devel, and rustc for rust;
  - cxa-demangle maps to nothing, covered by g++'s libstdc++;
  - the clang-bpf-co-re test needs the clang compiler binary (Fedora's
    clang-devel provides it transitively), and llvm-dev, which also
    brings llvm-config (deps on the llvm package), used by the
    llvm/llvm-perf tests;
  - libslang maps to libslang2-dev and jvmti to default-jdk;
  - the install command runs 'apt-get update' first since a fresh
    container has no package indexes, unlike dnf.

Validated on a fresh Ubuntu 26.04 distrobox container so the host
system is not modified:

    distrobox create --image ubuntu:26.04
    distrobox enter ubuntu-26-04
    make -C tools/perf install-build-deps

which installed the 29 mapped packages; a subsequent clean O= build
enabled every feature with an external dependency Ubuntu has a
package for: perf's build-options then showed all of them [on],
including the BPF skeletons requiring clang/llvm, the python binding
and the C++-based features, with only the deliberately unmapped
(deprecated) libbfd family, libperl and libunwind [OFF], and the
build linked libpfm, libbabeltrace2-ctf-writer, libcapstone,
libtraceevent, libslang, libnuma, libdw and libssl.  Re-running the
target is a no-op (apt-get reports "0 newly installed").

Debian (trixie) is the next planned distro: it shares this Ubuntu
mapping, so enabling it reuses it as-is, once it gets validated on a
Debian release.

Example of its --list:

  $ grep PRETTY_NAME /etc/os-release
  PRETTY_NAME="Fedora Linux 44 (Toolbx Container Image)"
  $ tools/perf/scripts/install-build-deps.sh --list --distro ubuntu
