Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo ef12a14130 perf buildid-cache: Add new command to manage build-id cache
For now it just has operations to examine a given file, find its
build-id and add or remove it to/from the cache.

Useful, for instance, when adding binaries sent together with a
perf.data file, so that we can add them to the cache and have
the tools find it when resolving symbols.

It'll also manage the size of the cache like 'ccache' does.
