When all Python shell tests run concurrently during 'perf test' under
heavy load:
1. Unfiltered 'perf list' initializes all hardware PMUs and metrics in
each test process; use 'perf list tracepoint' when checking for
tracepoint events.
2. Running 'perf record' without '-B -N --no-bpf-event' synthesizes BPF
events across the system and caches build-ids into ~/.debug; add
'-B -N --no-bpf-event' to all Python shell test recordings.
3. Drop '-a' in test_check_perf_trace_python.sh,
test_rw_by_file_python.sh, test_rw_by_pid_python.sh,
test_rwtop_python.sh, and test_syscall_counts_by_pid_python.sh where
only a single child workload ('dd' or 'sleep') is tested, avoiding
system-wide /proc synthesis and ringbuffer contention.
4. Add '-W 1' to 'ping -c 1' in test_net_dropmonitor_python.sh and
test_netdev_times_python.sh, and narrow 'compaction:*' to
'compaction:mm_compaction_begin,compaction:mm_compaction_end' in
test_compaction_times_python.sh.

Refactor 'perf script' to launch standalone scripts directly via fork()
and execvp() and remove the legacy embedded Perl and Python scripting
engines:
- Remove the embedded Perl scripting engine
(util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.c), Perl scripts, bin
wrappers, and Trace-Util library
(scripts/perl/Perf-Trace-Util/), and script_perl.sh test.
- Remove libperl feature checks from Makefile.config, Makefile.perf,
builtin-check.c, and Documentation/perf-check.txt.
- Remove -g / --gen-script option and scripting_ops dispatch table from
builtin-script.c and trace-event-scripting.c.
- Hide the legacy -s / --script option and update script discovery in
find_script() and list_available_scripts() to prioritize the system
'python' directory over bare filenames in the current directory.
- Update the Python script shell tests (test_arm_coresight_disasm.sh,
test_task_analyzer.sh, and test_*_python.sh) to invoke scripts via
'perf script <script>' rather than running the Python interpreter
directly on the script file path.

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.
