Perf's expr code currently builds an array of strings then removes
duplicates. The array is larger than necessary and has recently been
increased in size. When this was done it was commented that a hashmap
would be preferable.

libbpf has a hashmap but libbpf isn't currently required to build
perf. To satisfy various concerns this change copies libbpf's hashmap
into libapi, it then adds a check in perf that the two are in sync.

Andrii's patch to hashmap from bpf-next is brought into this set to
fix issues with hashmap__clear.

Three minor changes to libbpf's hashmap are made that remove an unused
dependency, fix a compiler warning and make sure the hashmap isn't
part of the symbols in a static build of libbpf (dsos are handled by
the existing version script).

Two perf test are also brought in as they need refactoring to account
for the expr API change and it is expected they will land aheadof
this.

Tested with 'perf test' and make -C tools/perf build-test.

The hashmap change was originally part of an RFC:
