perf build: install-build-deps: add Fedora devel package mapping

Browse source 
With the framework from the previous commit in place, this patch adds
the per-feature mapping for Fedora/dnf: for each feature test in
tools/build/feature/, the Fedora devel package providing the headers
or library the test compiles against, kept explicit in the script
next to the test that requires it.

Special cases:

  - test-libdebuginfod.c includes <elfutils/debuginfod.h>, provided
    by elfutils-debuginfod-client-devel, not elfutils-devel;
  - the cxa-demangle test links against libstdc++'s builtin demangler,
    pulling in libstdc++-devel;
  - the BPF-oriented features (bpf, clang-bpf-co-re) get their headers
    from the base packages and clang-devel.

Tests with no Fedora equivalent (bionic, compile-32, compile-x32) and
the opt-in/deprecated ones (libbfd disassembler family, GTK2, LIBPERL,
LIBUNWIND, CoreSight, and the tests perf itself doesn't check, like
libcpupower) are deliberately not mapped.

Validated on a fresh Fedora 44 toolbx container, so the host OS is not
modified:

    toolbox create fedora:44
    toolbox enter fedora:44
    make -C tools/perf install-build-deps

which installed the 29 mapped packages; a subsequent clean O= build
enabled every feature with an external dependency Fedora provides
(feature tests went to 1, except bionic/compile-32/compile-x32, which
have no Fedora equivalent, and the libunwind-debug-frame tests, whose
symbols Fedora's libunwind does not export), linking libpfm,
libbabeltrace2-ctf-writer, libcapstone, libtraceevent, libslang and
libnuma, as well as building the BPF skeletons requiring clang/llvm.
Re-running the target is a no-op (dnf reports "Nothing to do").

RHEL and its derivatives share most Fedora package names but are
refused by the script until this mapping is validated on them.

Example of its --list option:

  $ grep PRETTY_NAME /etc/os-release
  PRETTY_NAME="Fedora Linux 44 (Toolbx Container Image)"
  $ tools/perf/scripts/install-build-deps.sh --list
