perf llvm: Move llvm functionality into its own file

LLVM disassembly support was in disasm.c and addr2line support in
srcline.c. Move support out of these files into llvm.[ch] and remove
LLVM includes from those files. As disassembly routines can fail, make
failure the only option without HAVE_LIBLLVM_SUPPORT. For simplicity's
sake, duplicate the read_symbol utility function.

The intent with moving LLVM support into a single file is that dynamic
support, using dlopen for libllvm, can be added in later patches. This
can potentially always succeed or fail, so relying on ifdefs isn't
sufficient. Using dlopen is a useful option to minimize the perf tools
dependencies and potentially size.
