Port tools/perf/scripts/python/syscall-counts.py to a standalone script
in tools/perf/python/ using the perf module. Avoiding the embedded
interpreter and per-event dictionary allocation overhead improves
execution speed by ~4x:
```
$ perf record -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter -a sleep 1
...
$ time perf script tools/perf/scripts/python/syscall-counts.py perf
...
real 0m3.887s
user 0m3.578s
sys 0m0.308s
$ time python3 tools/perf/python/syscall-counts.py perf
...
real 0m0.953s
user 0m0.905s
sys 0m0.048s
```
Additional improvements compared to the legacy script:
- Resolve syscall names using perf.syscall_name(id, session.e_machine)
instead of host python-audit / Util.py tables, enabling accurate
cross-architecture perf.data analysis without external dependencies.
- Support both raw_syscalls:sys_enter (sample.id) and individual
syscalls:sys_enter_* tracepoints (sample.__syscall_nr / sample.nr),
filtering out invalid/corrupt (> 0xffff or negative) syscall numbers.
- Add argparse CLI options (-i/--input and optional comm filter).
Add a shell test (test_syscall_counts_python.sh) to verify the
standalone script. The legacy script and its bin wrapper are retained
temporarily during the transition to maintain bisectability and are
removed once all scripts are migrated.
