tools check_headers.sh: Add check variant that excludes some hunks

With 6d74e1e371d43a7b ("tools/lib/list_sort: remove redundant code for
cond_resched handling") we end up with a multi-line variation in the
merge_final() implementation, one that the simple line based exceptions
we had so far can't cope.

Thus this check has been failing:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header differences:
    diff -u tools/lib/list_sort.c lib/list_sort.c

So add a new check routine that uses grep -vf to exclude some hunks that
we store in the tools/perf/check-header_ignore_hunks/ directory.

This first patch is just the new check routine, the next one will use it
to check lib/list_sort.c.
