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

  [acme@ssdandy linux]$
  [acme@ssdandy linux]$ cat tools/perf/config/feature-checks/.make-libbabeltrace.output

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'

  config/Makefile:425: No libunwind found. Please install libunwind-dev[el] >= 1.1 and/or set LIBUNWIND_DIR
