tools/perf/build: Add 'autodep' functionality, generate feature test dependencies automatically

Use GCC's -MD feature to generate a dependency file for each feature test .c file,
and include that .d file in the config/feature-checks/Makefile.

This allows us to do two things:

 - speed up feature tests
 - detect removal or changes in build dependencies - including system libraries/headers
