perf_counter tools: add in basic glue from Git

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.
