perf buildid-list: Support showing the build id in an ELF file

Browse Source 
Try first reading the build id, validating that it is an ELF file, etc.
Cheap as libelf will bail out as soon as the magic number check fails.

Useful when investigating debuginfo packaging problems like this one:

[root@emilia ~]# perf buildid-list -i /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/`uname -r`/vmlinux

[root@emilia ~]# perf buildid-list -k

[root@emilia ~]#
