libbpf: Add API to consume the perf ring buffer content
This new API, perf_buffer__consume, can be used as follows:
- When you have a perf ring where wakeup_events is higher than 1,
and you have remaining data in the rings you would like to pull
out on exit (or maybe based on a timeout).
- For low latency cases where you burn a CPU that constantly polls
the queues.
