Ian Rogers 13d5660026 perf env: Refactor perf_env__arch_strerrno ...

The previous approach maps an architecture string to a function
pointer to a function that takes an int errno value and returns a
string. The new approach takes an e_machine and an errno value and
returns a string.

As the only call site is in builtin-trace.c, the e_machine is already
present and potentially more specific than the perf_env arch string
that is a single global value.

Since the errno-to-name mapping is now generated statically and no
longer depends on libtraceevent, we can remove the HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT
guards entirely, making perf_env__arch_strerrno unconditionally
available.

The major complication in this approach is having the shell script
that generates the C code map a linux directory name to the matching
ELF machine constants. To ensure compatibility with older hosts that
have older glibc versions, output fallback definitions for newer ELF
machine constants (EM_AARCH64, EM_CSKY, EM_LOONGARCH) if they are not
defined in the system <elf.h>.
