Several people have suggested that 'perf' has become a full-fledged
tool that should be moved out of Documentation/. Move it to the
(new) tools/ directory.

Also add perf list to command-list.txt.

Import Git's nice .txt => {man/html/pdf} generation machinery.
Fix various errors in the Documentation/perf*.txt description as well.
Also fix a bug in builtin-help: we'd map 'perf help top' to 'perftop'
if only the 'perf' binary is in the default PATH - confusing the manpage
logic. I dont fully understand why Git did it this way - but i suppose
it's a migration artifact from their migration from standalone git-xyz
commands to 'git xyz' commands. The perf tools were always using the
modern form so it's not an issue there.

First very raw version at having a central 'perf' command and
a list of subcommands:
perf top
perf stat
perf record
perf report
...
This is done by picking up Git's collection of utility functions,
and hacking them to build fine in this new environment.
