perf tools: Output feature detection's gcc output to a file

So that we can debug feature detection problems.

It will appear on $(OUTPUT)feature-checks/.make-libbabeltrace.output, using the libbabeltrace feature test.

Whole process:

[acme@ssdandy linux]$ make -C tools/perf install-bin
make: Entering directory `/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf'
BUILD: Doing 'make -j8' parallel build
config/Makefile:425: No libunwind found. Please install libunwind-dev[el] >= 1.1 and/or set LIBUNWIND_DIR config/Makefile:709: No libbabeltrace found, disables 'perf data' CTF format support, please install libbabeltrace-dev[el]/libbabeltrace-ctf-dev

compilation terminated.

So the libbabeltrace feature will not be builtin, but if we do what is required for it to be built, namely point where we have it installed:

[acme@ssdandy linux]$ time make -C tools/perf LIBBABELTRACE_DIR=/opt/libbabeltrace install-bin
make: Entering directory `/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf'
BUILD: Doing 'make -j8' parallel build
