tools lib api: Add io_dir an allocation free readdir alternative glibc's opendir allocates a minimum of 32kb, when called recursively for a directory tree the memory consumption can add up - nearly 300kb during perf start-up when processing modules. Add a stack allocated variant of readdir sized a little more than 1kb. As getdents64 may be missing from libc, add support using syscall. As the system call number maybe missing, add #defines for those. Note, an earlier version of this patch had a feature test for getdents64 but there were problems on certains distros where getdents64 would be #define renamed to getdents breaking the code. The syscall use was made uncondtional to work around this.

libapi: Add missing header with NAME_MAX define to io_dir.h Most systems get this indirectly, but some odd cases (some musl libc systems) can't find it, so just add the header where NAME_MAX is defined to avoid that.
